Gustav Stickley Plans

Stickley Garden Bench Plans

This garden bench is made of white cedar stock stripped of the bark and left in the natural color which in time takes a silver gray tone and a beautiful texture. The seat rails, back and arms are smoothly planed so that no rough, disturbing places are left. Each piece will need to be fitted with care, as after the tenon and mortise are cut the entire stick must be slightly set into the piece to which it is joined. This prevents the water from getting into the joint and makes a workmanlike job. A chair can easily be made from these plans by making the front and back rails twenty-six inches in length and using only eight rails for the seat. [Gustav Stickley, May 1905]

Stickley Night Stand Plans

The top of the back is to be dowelled in place with three half-inch dowels. The top is fastened by table fasteners placed under the wide overhang at the sides. The drawers are to be dovetailed together and all edges slightly softened by sandpapering. [Gustav Stickley, 1906]

Stickley Recliner (Morris Chair) Plans

The sides are put together first, then the front and back seat rails. The seat frame is pierced with holes placed about an inch apart, and through these is to be woven cane or heavy cord to afford a firm and elastic support for the seat cushion. Either one is satisfactory, but the cane will be found more durable. The seat pillow should be from four to five inches thick; the back pillow from five to six inches thick and high enough to cover the top slat in the back. [Gustav Stickley, 1906]
