French Canadian Cabinet Wood Plans
IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD
This cabinet is a reproduction of a Louis XIII piece built in 18th-century Quebec. After this time, woodworkers began to incorporate British and American elements in their furniture. Ideal materials were plentiful: an entire diamond-point panel could be made from a single board. Most early Quebec pieces were painted to brighten up the home. The original cabinet that inspired this project is in the Canadian Museum of Civilization collection. Rather than combing sawmills or reclaimed-wood dealers in search of stock of immense proportions, I revisited the design of the piece, keeping in mind today's lumberyard realities and woodworking technology. Where a 18th-century woodworker may have used one large board to make these diamond-point panels, I had to use several small pieces for each. But with today's tools I could make short work of profiles and beading with my router, reproducing results that old-time woodworkers created with hand tools.
