The Queen Anne Fan

Learn how to execute one of the classic details of

Queen Anne Furniture part 2

Cabrioe legs may give a Queen Anne lowboy it's signature grace, but the fan is it's visual centerpiece. The fan, which decorates the bottom center drawer of the lowboy, was a popular element in Queen Anne Furniture. It is a fairly simple relief carving that requiores a handful of gouges and chisels.

We will begin with the drawer front cut to size and it's edge shaped. We will lay out the fan, draw a baseline & recess the background, set out the hub & define the rays, We will then define & shape the rays with a carving tool known as a backbend then set in the scallops. We will also discuss how to reshape the nose of a gouge.
