Shaker Furnishings By Dickson
KEITH DICKSON I began making Shaker boxes to relax from the rigors of cabinetmaking, but in no way have I eased my penchant for precision! The fact that I'm a woodworker means that there's a lot of difference in what I choose to create, and how I see a piece of wood. More About Keith Dickson	Shaker Boxes To construct a Shaker box, two bands of thin wood are cut, then steamed or soaked until pliable. They are bent into ovals, and then their two overlapping ends are joined to form the lid and body. A delicate swallowtail joint, with carved fingers tacked to the opposite end of the strip, connects these overlapping ends. This joint breathes without warping or buckling.
