Ming Shaker Nesting Tables: A set of two tables also pictured with a coffee table in natural cherry.  I have made these nesting tables in many other woods and other sizes.  I have also made nests of three tables.  The original set of these tables were designed and built for a good friend during the first years I was in business.  She worked evenings grading tests to make the extra money to pay for them.

     These tables are also the reason for naming my Ming Shaker Furniture line of furniture.  I took a set of the tables to be examined when applying for membership to the League of NH Craftsmen.  One of the judges proclaimed the style to me Ming Shaker due to the simple tapered legs and the Asian influence seen in the over/under curves of the top and skirt.  I liked the designation and have used it ever since.  Click here to see many other items with similar design details: Ming Shaker Furniture
