Sofa Table

Very nice. I have never seen padauk that light orange before. I really like it. Did you grove-in the piece around the legs or are they added just like molding?

very well done I really like the padauk accents the whole table is fantastic.

Very cool,
I was even thinking maybe a small padauk trim pc. around the bottom of the skirt might tie everything together nicely. ( add some more spice)
I’m not saying it needs it, just thinking out loud is all. :)

I really like the look you created.

Thanks for the feedback LJ’s!
ohwoodeye – the padauk bands are set into quarter inch deep dadoes around the legs with the bullnose sticking out. I think part of the color in the pics is due to the sunlight (as opposed to incandescent); they are more typical padauk color sitting in the house.

bentlyj – yea, I hear you on padauk trim for the skirt. Thought about it but didn’t do it; thought it might lead the eye away from the leg bands.

I’ve always enjoyed garters on long shapely legs ! LOL

Great job overall , and though I’m not a fan of staining , you did a great job with your color choice on the Oak. : ) I think you made a good call by not putting any Padauk trim on the aprons , but it is a nice thought to keep in mind.

4thumbs, Very nice detail with the Padauk accents. Adds just the right touch (or spice). Great job and a very unique combination of woods. Welcome to LJ’s and look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing.

Welcome to LJ’s! Very nice table. Let me know how the Padauk cleanup goes, I still have a few red pairs of pants from my last padauk project!

I’m with them.

Cool table…so you found the rest of my thumbs? The padauk will darken to a beautiful color with age, hard to imagine all that orange dust will end up so dark. I agree on the skirt. Welcome to LJ and enjoy…alot of GREAT ideas and craftsmanship, you will find yourself looking every day!

-- Uhhh...I forgot what i was going to say.

Great Lookin Table

Nice color combination of woods. I’ve done some similar stuff with Bubinga and Walnut and achieved a nice contrast.
