The original table that I used as a pattern is on the right.  The two copies use mortise and tenon joints instead of dowels that were used on the original.  The table on the left has a reddish antique cherry stain with a polyurethane topcoat.  The middle table has a brown stain with polyurethane topcoat.  All-in-all I made four copies, each with a slightly different shade of stain.  The wood is premavera.
The table is premavera.  Red-brown stain with poly topcoat.  The drawer has handcut covetails on front and back.  Notice the breadboard tip with square pins of walnut.
The Stickley stool is the same wood and finish as the project above.  The cushion is removable whereas the Stickley #300 had a leather top.  Notice the thru tenons on the legs.
I call this my 'trailer chic travel case.'  I built it as an experiment in making boxes with tops.  Notice the half inch box joints on the corners.  The fabric was bought at a thrift store.  You can't tell from this view, but I originally mistakenly put the latch hardware on the left side due to a temporary lapse in brain function..
