Cricket Tables, Derek Jones (book)

Book by Derek Jones from Lost Art Press on cricket tables, the traditional three-legged table. Simplicity, necessity and ingenuity are the three key principles. The table exists in many forms and woods, and no two are the same; making one follows an organic process in which your tools and materials dictate your approach and the table's final form.

Jones introduces the form, then teaches the simple skills to build a variety of everyday furniture with a few basic hand tools and easily sourced materials. The book covers historical influences, triangle-based construction, the geometry of three legs, joinery jigs and a set of projects.

112 full-colour pages, 8-1/2" × 11", sewn and glued with a cloth-covered cover.
