A Games Table we made for a customer some time ago, constructed from 16 different types of timber.
The Cabinet Makers and French Polishers did a superb job on this one.
The table top is decorated with oysters of Laburnum cut directly from the log into quarter inch slices; each piece is then book-matched to another and laid in pairs in the traditional manner.
The internal sides of the kneehole are proportionally matched to the top, its internal sides are decorated with a panel of quilted Maple strung in Kingswood, Boxwood and Ebony, and cross-banded in Walnut.
Each hand-made drawer is dovetailed with a traditional centre dovetail flanked by out splayed dovetails

So ah, um, I’m guessing you didn’t do this out in your garage on the weekend with a circ saw and a ROS, is that right?
Nice work. Some time take a series of pictures of any part of that type of work and give us all a lesson.
Thanks,
