A counter for Richie's Pizza

Project by Woodjoint posted 176 days ago 873 views 0 times favorited 14 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Ok it’s a pizza joint but I bet it’s the only pizza joint with a counter like this one. Frame is local Tamarack and the panels are spalted elm. All joinery is hand cut. the top of the frame is dovetailed together. The bottom is half lapped and the vertical members are through mortised both top and bottom. I wanted the knots and live edges to be the major feature of this piece.

No sooner had I commented, in your last posting, on the counter, than it appeared here. Wonderful panels! You certainly wouldn’t get that in veneered MDF!

Very cool, almost like stretched hides. Beautiful solution for a counter.

I’ll take a sausage with some mushrooms. Medium size.

A great looking counter. Nice job.
