Project Information

Another project using old-growth, river-salvaged Honduras Mahogany. Floating top is accented by curved front and rear aprons and double, slender legs at each corner. I am fond of the sculpted quality seen on the tops of the legs. That was inspired by the ultra-cool hand planes I saw at WIA 2011, especially those of Sauer & Steiner.

Mahogany from Greener Lumber, LLC, Missouri. Salvaged in Belize.

Very nice! The floating top almost makes this look like a "nested" pair of tables. Quite interesting, and very well done!

that is really nice table and great workmanship. I love the pictures on the website of the whole process. What kind of finish did you use?

great looking table. I like the double leg design. Your dovetails look really good.

Lanaug, finish is oil-varnish-mineral spirits (4:1:3), wiped, and wet sanded (progressively higher grits), wiped off. Usually I do 7-8 coats. Not a quick way to finish, but very satisfying work and wonderful to the touch.

Rich Petty, of Greener Lumber, LLC, has put together a wonderful piece on the history and journey of historic Mahogany harvesting, present day salvage and processing operations and a short gallery of finished work at the end. Makes me want to go make something. About 11 minutes long, but don't miss out on the finale, he, he, he.

The commercial aspect of this video is very low-key, should be most enjoyable to anyone interested in wood and its stories.
