looks good … can’t wait to see the finished piece

Sweeeet. Gary this is really coming together. I like what you’ve done with the legs. (and while I’m thinking of it…great photos too.)

Very intriguing design. I would hesitate to have the finals in the house with little kids.

TopamaxSurvivor – I hadn’t thought of the finals and kids (yet :-)). I think you’re right.

I’ll have to keep her away from it until she’s older, or better yet make them removable.

If I do that then I will have to remember where I put them though. :-)

Thanks

I’ll give you some suggestions…..a few years from now when I’ve reached this caliber of work. aaa, at my age, I never will. That thing is nice, real nice

Gary … make a little hidden compartment for them

Gary..this table gets more ornate and detailed as you move on! Great work, but I have to agree with you on the sanding..it’s going to be a pain!

Gary,

If you had made the main column a little longer, enough to cover the patch area, you could just cut it off & then cut to fit.

If you didn’t, cut another shorter column the same way as before, then cut, etc. to fit.

Just rattling the brain and spitting it out… :)

Looking good!

Hi Gary;

It’s looking really fine. Great job, beautiful workmanship.

I see what you mean about wanting to leave the top thicker.

Again, excellent workmanship!

Gary – It just gets better every day. For the center post, why not try – copying the pedestals from the feet, using the same profile, but make it 6 sided.

The posts for some reason keep reminding me of “Big Ben”, the clock in London (before anybody post a comment, I know Big Ben is actually the bell not the tower).

As for the finials – small children – the secret compartment is a great idea, but you may forget where it is. You will still have to cap the tops, to hide the hole and to protect the sharp edges at the apex if the posts.

The finials, look like brass, polished up – against the mahogany they are going to highlight the attention to detail.

Great work, interesting blog, you are making me envious.

Gary I can’t wait to see it with a little oil on it to bring out the color of the timber.

A very interesting design. I am quite curious about how the delicate edge work on the top will look with the gothicly inspired base. The legs are fantastic.
