For materials, you ll need " stock roughly 6 bd. ft. cherry, 3 bd. ft. maple, and a 6" square of walnut for the appliqué. 1 Start by cutting and gluing up the cherry for the two 10 30" end panels (A). Glue up stock 1" longer than the final dimension, to allow easier cutting of the half-round arc at the top. 2 Using the End Panel drawing as a guide, lay out the arc, the dowel hole locations, and the mortise location on each end panel. Bandsaw just outside the arc layout; then sand the arc to shape. Or use a router and trammel setup to trim right to the line. Part Bill of Materials Finished Size T W L Matl. Qty.

A jigsaw or scrollsaw will make short work of the mortise edges, or you can use a chisel to pare to the layout lines. When that s done, finish-sand the inside face of each panel. Kerfed tenons will lock the stretcher to end panels 1 Next, cut the stretcher (B) to size from a piece of " maple, and use a try square to mark the layout lines for the tenons and the kerf slots that will be filled later to lock them tight. (See the Tenon Detail drawing.) 2 Attach a tall backing board to your tablesaw s miter gauge. Stand the stretcher (B) on end, butt its edge against the rip fence, and clamp it to the backing board, ensuring that one of the kerf slot marks aligns with the saw blade. Cut the slot to the required depth; then rotate the board to put the other edge against the fence for the second cut, as shown in Photo A. Repeat the procedure for the other end of the stretcher. 3 Now install a Å" dado blade in your tablesaw and attach a sacrificial or auxiliary wood fence to the rip fence. Set the fence so the dado makes just a shallow cut in the face of the sacrificial board, leaving " of the blade width exposed. Set the blade height at " for the wide tenon cheeks, and use the miter gauge to guide the cut. (Test-cut on scrap first.) Then raise the blade to fi" to cut away the edge cheeks (Photo B). D Insert the dowel end into the guide block and align the layout mark with the saw kerf (inset). Cut the kerf; then switch dowel ends and repeat. Custom dowels require simple tricks to make, modify Note: You can use store-bought dowels for this project, but they tend to be bland. We wanted eye-catching figure, so we made our own quilt supports (C) from the same curly maple stock as the stretcher. To learn how we did it, see Router-Made Dowels, in Minutes! on page 5. 1 Rout and sand five dowels for the quilt supports. Cut them 30" long. 2 Clamp the dowels one at a time to your workbench so they can t roll; then use a small block to mark a vertical layout line across each end of the dowel (Photo C). These lines will help you cut the kerf slots for the wedges. 3 For a cutting jig, you ll need a hardwood block at least 1" thick, 2" wide, and about 12" long. Using a drill press, bore a " hole through the center of the block, about 3" from one end. Then cut a saw kerf Ø" deep into one face, centered and about half the length of the jig block so it intersects the " hole. 4 Now, without changing the fence or blade settings, insert the first quilt support dowel into the jig block with the layout line and kerf aligned, and run the dowel end over the blade as shown in Photo D. Repeat this procedure for the other end; then remove it and make the same cuts in each of the remaining quilt supports. 5 For the wedge inserts that will help lock the stretcher tenons and the dowel ends in place, rip a couple of thin strips (at least a foot long) from a piece of " walnut stock. These strips should fit snugly in the saw kerfs you cut earlier (about " for a standard blade). Rip one of the strips down to fi" wide; then cut both of them into shorter pieces, at least 1" long. Don t fuss with precision. These will be cut to final length after they re installed. Getting the assembly underway 1 Lay one end panel, sanded (inside) face up, on your bench top, and spread glue in the mortise. Insert the stretcher tenon; then turn the assembly on its side and wipe off any glue squeeze-out with a damp cloth. 2 Inject glue into the tenon slots, then Page 4 of 9

insert a fi"-wide wedge into each slot, tapping it home with a hammer. 3 Next, take the thin cardboard back from a notepad, and cut a hole big enough to fit over the wedge stubs.

6 insert a fi"-wide wedge into each slot, tapping it home with a hammer. 3 Next, take the thin cardboard back from a notepad, and cut a hole big enough to fit over the wedge stubs. Place it on the end panel, and use a small handsaw (a backless Japanesestyle saw works best) to trim off the excess wedge length. The cardboard protects the surrounding wood surface. 4 Now lay the end panel back down on your bench, and glue in each of the dowels. Pay attention to the orientation of the wedge slots. They should radiate from a center point like spokes on a wheel (see Exploded View drawing). Turn the assembly sideways to make necessary adjustments; then glue the "-wide wedges in place and trim them off, again with the cardboard shield in place. You ll sand the remnants flush later. Set the assembly back down on the bench, with the dowels and stretcher pointing straight up, and leave it while the glue dries. 5 Place the remaining end panel on your workbench, again inside face up. Gluing this piece on gets a little more complicated because the assembly work you ve already done requires you to insert all the dowels and the stretcher tenon simultaneously. We switched from yellow to white glue here to allow extra working time. Repeat the process from Step 4 to install and trim the wedges. 6 Belt-sand all the wedges flush with the end panels; then use a finishing sander to smooth the surface further. 7 Complete the construction by cutting and installing the appliqué (see Appliqué: A Simple Way to Add a Complex Design ). If you want to leave your quilt stand unadorned, you can simply apply finish. We applied two coats of a wipe-on oil/varnish blend, allowing nearly 24 hours drying time between coats. ROUTER-MADE DOWELS, IN MINUTES! Having custom-made dowels for your project doesn t require a lathe or a special milling machine. Chuck Hedlund, our project builder, created them with an ordinary router table and a round-over bit. By doing the same, you can use wood with exactly the figure or character you want. This simple technique involves just three basic steps. First, cut square strips of wood, sized to equal the diameter of the dowel(s) you want. For length, allow an extra 3" on each end. These end portions should stay square as you rout the dowel. Next, install a round-over bit with the same radius as the dowel (for example, a " round-over bit for a "-diameter dowel). Set the bit up in the router table as shown in the illustration below, and adjust the fence position to align with the bit s guide bearing. Mark start- and stop-lines on the fence so you can rout the dowel length you need and still leave the ends square. Finally, guide a test piece of squared stock along the fence to round over the corners, rotating the blank until the dowel is round. You may have to sand off very slight ridges to get the dowel perfectly smooth. Large ridges mean the bit height and/or the fence position needs adjustment.

7 APPLIQUÉ: A SIMPLE WAY TO ADD A COMPLEX DESIGN Step 1: Construct a simple sliding-miter jig for your tablesaw, with guide blocks positioned at 45 angles to the blade (90 to each other), and a cleat for a stopblock.

(Note: See the full-size pattern on page 9 for actual sizes of the individual appliqué pieces.) SLIDING MITER JIG x fi" slat Tablesaw Page 6 of 9

8 Step 4: Cut the cherry center square and the walnut ring from " stock. (If you can, resaw this material from thicker boards. A thickness planer will merely waste the excess wood in the form of shavings.) Then using the pattern on page 9 and glue the appliqué pieces to them. Apply a dab of glue to the face of each piece, just enough to hold it to the paper pattern. Use a little more on mating edges that will bond to the other parts, and press each piece into place. Let these sit until the glue sets up, about an hour or so. Paper pattern Step 3: Flip the slats edge-for-edge to produce triangle-shaped cutoffs. Repeat the steps until you have 16 triangles in maple and 8 in walnut. Use the eraser end of a pencil as a hold-down to keep the small triangles from being thrown by the saw blade. Flip slat edge-for-edge to cut triangle pattern. Hold stock with eraser end of pencil while cutting. Page 7 of 9

9 Step 5: Take one glued-up appliqué and lay it face down on an end panel. Use the indexing marks around the pattern to position it correctly; then apply masking tape along the lower edge. The tape will act as a hinge, allowing you to fold the pattern back and expose the unglued face of the appliqué. Apply a thin layer of glue to each part in the appliqué, fold the pattern back onto the end panel, and tape the top end so it can t shift. Place a 10"-square piece of " plywood on top of the appliqué, and clamp it evenly to the end panel. Let the assembly set for at least an hour. Then repeat the procedure for the other appliqué, and clamp it in place. x 10 x 10" plywood Applique temporarily glued to paper A Masking tape hinge Paper pattern ' Step 6: Peel away the paper pattern to reveal the appliqué, now glued solidly to the end panel. Remove as much paper residue as possible by hand; then use a finishing sander and a mat (X acto) knife to clean up the rest.
