Cordova Woodworking: Modern, Practical, and Inspired

Cordova Woodworking is a respected name in the modern woodworking community. Based in the heart of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, this small Canadian workshop combines custom craftsmanship with a drive to make great design approachable for every woodworker. Specializing in clean lines, refined joinery, and lively forms, Cordova's plans radiate a sense of Scandinavian and Japanese minimalism, elegant, but always buildable.

When you purchase a Cordova Woodworking plan, you’re getting more than just dimensions on a page. Each PDF is thoughtfully drafted, offers both metric and imperial measurements, and comes with detailed component drawings, expertly illustrated step-by-step guides, and insights into materials, joinery, and tools. Not only do these plans help you build a beautiful finished piece, but they also guide you to new skills in cabinetry, joinery, shaping, and assembly.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the most sought-after Cordova designs, now all included in the Woodworker’s Archive library for your next project.

Coffee Table Woodworking Plans: The Centerpiece of Versatility and Style

Floating Coffee Table PDF Woodworking Plans

A good coffee table occupies the heart of the living room, anchoring the space visually and serving as a functional gathering point. The Coffee Table Woodworking Plans PDF from Cordova Woodworking is a perfect example of form-meets-function design. This meticulously drafted plan stands out for its straightforward construction, detailed 3D illustrations, and a timeless silhouette that complements virtually any decor.

This project is a great choice for both ambitious newcomers ready to tackle a larger piece and seasoned builders who want a satisfying, quick result. The joinery can all be accomplished using a table saw, making it accessible for almost any shop setup. With helpful diagrams for each cut and assembly, you’ll complete a living room standout with pride, and if you’re looking for another take on the coffee table, don’t miss their modern take with the Round Coffee Table PDF Woodworking Plans, which offers a striking circular top and equally approachable construction.

Lola Floating Night Stand: Minimalism for Every Bedroom

Clean, airy, and quietly sophisticated, the Lola Floating Night Stand Woodworking Plans PDF illustrates everything Cordova Woodworking does best. The piece itself floats away from the wall, freeing precious floor space and giving any bedroom a light contemporary feel. Step-by-step instructions, 3D illustrations, and a cut list guide you at every stage.

Ready to build a complete bedroom set? Cordova also delivers the beautifully coordinated Modern Nightstand Woodworking Plans PDF, which channels Danish minimalism with recessed pulls, soft double drawers, and construction details that will expand your technical skills.

Tala Bench Woodworking Plans: Japanese-Inspired Design and Flexible Joinery

Translating the spirit of Japanese minimalism into a practical build, the Tala Bench Woodworking Plans PDF is an inspiring project that challenges and rewards. This project delivers three joinery options, mortise and tenon, Festool Domino, or dowels, so you can tailor the process to your own tools and experience. The plan includes clear instructions, 3D diagrams, and a full breakdown of every cut and join.

Because you can choose the joinery path that matches your skill level or available tools, the Tala Bench is just as approachable for relative beginners as for veteran woodworkers looking to refine their joinery. You’ll come away with a versatile piece that elevates an entryway, dining room, or even a sunroom.

Floating Side Table PDF Woodworking Plans: Functionality and Compact Beauty

Every woodshop needs a project that’s practical, affordable, and fast to complete. The Floating Side Table PDF Woodworking Plans exemplifies this sweet spot. The project is compact enough for tight spaces, guided by plans that include both metric and imperial drawings, a cut list, and bonus access to instructional build videos, a rare bonus that makes it even easier to follow along.

Like all Cordova plans, this side table invites customization. Use contrasting woods or unique finishes for a designer touch, or modify its proportions to fit your home perfectly. Cordova’s clarity and flexibility are what make these plans so versatile.

If you’re drawn to the floating theme, take a look at the Floating Coffee Table PDF Woodworking Plans, which reimagines living room elegance with a sleek, updated profile.

Modern Bookshelf Woodworking Plans: Storage Meets Style

Modern Bookshelf Woodworking Plans PDF

Bookshelves span the line between storage and display, and the Modern Bookshelf Woodworking Plans PDF addresses both with crisp lines and intentional design rooted in Danish principles. You’ll find comprehensive professionally drafted drawings, dimensioned for every component, alongside a detailed step-by-step guide. Cordova also includes template vectors, so you can cut precise curves and shapes.

Unique features, such as exposed joinery and float-mounted shelves, take this bookshelf beyond the ordinary. Builders will also appreciate the joinery options for the back rails: Festool Domino, mortise and tenon, or dowel joinery. Tackle this project as a statement piece for your home office, hallway, or living room, and be sure to compare it with Cordova’s multi-functional Shaker Storage Cabinet Woodworking Plans for more storage possibilities.
