That is amother beautiful piece. I like the marine theme. What tools do you use to shape the tops and this case tentacles? A blog on this would really be great.

This is great!

I just finished a commission for a “Jellyfish Table” as well. It is really interesting to see how another woodworker interprets a similar idea in a totally different way. Beautifully done.

By the way, here’s mine:

i love the flow of your pieces, and this one is incredible. the shear amount of the tentacles really gives the piece a nice dense feel. nicely done!

Wow i love your piece of art but i have some questions

1: how did you make the ripple affect around the top please
2: you say there are 70 oak tenticals how many times were they cut and re-glued back together to make the wave look please

Sorry i ask these questions but i look at this and all i can think is HOW did he achive this beautifull piece of art

thanks for your time and showing us

-- cut it saw it scrap it

The ripple is carved into the piece. I laminated three layers of a 8/4” Bubinga slab. The bottom layer had the interior cut away to leave a 3” ring around the bottom. This hides the turned dowel connection of the Oak tentacles to the top. I then carved the hills and valleys into the bottom of the bottom layer. Once that was established I carved the ripple into the side face using a 2” mini grinder with a chainsaw balde for the initial rough out.
Each tentacle has between 2 and 8 mitered and dowelled joints. That part of the process was painfully long.
