Thorsen Greene & Greene Table for LumberJocks and Popular Woodworking - Goncalo Alves

Unique and cool!

What, if any, are the glue up issues with the oily wood? You used epoxy on the pegs.

Great job, Karson. That is some pretty wood!

I used titebondII for the aprons and it seems to hold ok. The clean up using a chisel went ok but you could tell that the glue was sticking. It’s said that you should use a solvent prior to glueing, but I didn’t.

isn’t this LOVELY!!!
What a beautiful wood. I don’t think I could put a big plant on this one. It’s gorgeous.

Bravo, Karson.

Great piece. Love the top especially.

-- Phil Brown, Ontario

Nice execution and really interesting wood. It will be interesting to see how it ages. Are you concerned with water rings since it’s a plant stand?

Well done, Karson, well done. Truly unique. That wood is beautiful, good choice.

That’s just great, Karson. It has a very unique look to it that is very appealing. The wood speaks for itself without alot of distracting design features. Really, really nice.

The plant is an artifical one at the present time. But, as she slid the pot across the top it sounded like sandpaper grating the surface. I didn’t dare look. LOL She was standing there.

Hi Karson….........Thanks!!!!

2 things…......I noticed you made a note of the planer shaving with the 3 piles…...the amount of dust and shavings from this table was a real surprise to me!!!!

Now that’s a good approach….......the ole ZIzzz wheel. Never even entered my mind. The other thing is you added the pegs then assembled….I assembled then added the pegs, as I was inserting the pegs I realized I could have done this prior to assembly, but the entire time of building, I always invisioned the pegs as being screw whole plugs and never deviated…... I’m telling you, this table just keeps getting better and better for being a part of it.

I’m finding the experience very interesting and FUN!!!!

Thanks Karson…......Neil

Neil:

The pile of shavings is about a years worth of shavings. Pind, maple, cherry cypress, walnut. etc.

I’ve got a lot of rough cut lumber, and I’m planeing some so that I can tell what it looks like on the surface.

I guess I never commented on this one yet. I think that’s some unique wood, & it made a beautiful table. ( I mean, you made a beautiful table.)

I’m envious of your fabulous wood supply.

Karson, this is a wonderful piece of woodworking artwork. Just an outstanding job done here. Beautiful is not enough.

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

I was looking at the table today, when someone was here looking at all of the tables.

The surface of the wood was silky smooth, even with no finish on it. The surface is just as bright as can be.

That is something. A wood with a built in finish.
