Demilune table tops #1: Making Demilune Tables

Very nice indeed, I really like the veneer on the first and last one, how much would one of these go for Lee (and how many hours does it take to make one)

Great show of equipment and tables.

Hi Damian;

You pick my two favorites as well. All of these tables were gifts, so I reall didn’t pay to much attention to the time involved.

As to price I would guess $1,500.00 – $ 2,500.00

Thanks.

Is the finish lacquer? You’ve definitely piqued my interest with regards vacuum clamping and with my birthday coming up…. :)

Lee, you have to fire up that video camera and walk us through this. Your work is amazing, but I have to admit that I’m bit baffled by the process here.

Gee, Lee, those are gorgeous. If that is a production piece, I’d be scared to see what a one-off looks like.
Top-flight all the way.

Gasp! Breathtaking….I agree with Mot… I’d love to see the build.

Hi Damian;

Some of them are Lacquer, yes.

Some of them are french polished. (shellac). The top one is French polish.

Hi Tom;

I’ve been toying with that idea for a little while now, as well as a book ;

” Woodworking from Beginner to Professional”, which I’ve recently started working on.

Most likely it will be an e-book, and range in price somewhere around $ 25.00, but I suspect it will be well worth the price.

Content is layed out, and will be very comprehensive!

Time is always a big issue issue.

Hi Douglas,

Thank you!

I’m working on one now. Actually started almost a year ago. Talk about A.D.D.

Of course I’ll be posting it.

My shop time seems to be dwindeling though.

I love your signature block.

Hey Bob,

Thank you.

I’ve been playing with sketch up a little, after seeing some of your posts. I’m determined to learn it now.

Nice work.

Bob;

I just visited your website. Since I’m about to be late for work, I only spent a couple minutes there,

But VERY IMPRESSIVE! Now I know what to do tonight… return to the site! (unless the BOSS lady has other plans for me)

they are magnificent and certainly don’t look like something you would do “in-between jobs” just for the joy of it….
simply gorgeous.

Thank you Debbie.

They are quite fun simply because of the beautiful veneers available.

Really love that top one the most! – is that one walnut?

And on the bottom one – what’s the veneer on the edge? Sapele? Ribbon Mahogany?

-- Dorje (pronounced "door-jay"), Seattle, WA

Hi Dorje,

The top one is Rosewood, with an ebony border.

The bottom one is quarter sawn Sapele border.

Even better!

wow…just amazing tables…I also like the idea of a video—-it could be a DVD that goes in the back of the book—-and you could produce them yourself…low overhead…make the dvd…then copy it as orders come in…

like you said…TIME…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...177 days to sanity...

Thanks Matt,

I’m not sure that the book will go beyond being an ebook. Of course I’ll submit it to publishers, but who knows how that will work out.

The video idea is one I like, and may include on the pro woodworking tips site. Actually a series of videos is what I would like to do.

I’m not cetain how that will affect loading time of the site, so if anyone here has some advice, I’m all ears.

Also, a better video camera would most likely be required, as the ezee-feed video is somewhat dissapointing.

I would also like to replace me on the ezee-feed video, with a nice looking young lady. To be named “Ms. Woodie”, would be appropriate I think, in more ways than one.

Seems some men’s attention span is increased, when the materials are presented by the femal gender.

Go figure!

Thanks, once more, Lee. As I commented the first time you showed us these – they are absolutely beautiful.

Great posting. Fun to read.

Did you make the plastic triangle veneer templates ?

Hi Dan;

No, I ordered them from Paul Schurch, along with many other veneering tools.
