Meet Dave Stubblefield, a retired Manufacturing Executive who learned woodworking from his father and continues to enjoy it in his retirement.
Dave is interested in all types and designs of woodworking but tends to favor 'Mission Style'. Dave is now researching George McHugh and his work; McHugh being credited as the first craftsman to use the word 'Mission' to describe his furniture. Dave had already copied some of McHugh's designs and plans to continue doing so.
Dave's wastebaskets are constructed with 100% Quarter-sawn White Oak or Cherry. There are no steel fasteners used anywhere in the piece. The stiles are fitted and glued into 1/4" deep dados on both the top and bottom rails. The legs are splayed and glued to the rails and the floor is held in place against a half dado with glue and small strips.
