Great job on the tables. Love craftsman furniture even looks like you have a little Greene and Greene influence in the tables.

Beautiful tables. I think I like the darker one better if I had to choose.

Very Nice! Love all the details.

Ditto, very nice! The piece by Kevin Rodel featured in Fine Woodworking magazine #178 – were they plans or just an illustration?

Very nice design & craftsmanship.

That’s quality! Nice job! I like it.

The answer is yes and no. On the cherry version, I used a 1 7/8” forstner bit to hog out most of the waste followed by a template and a router with a flush trimming bit to rout the holes. I then squared them up with chisels. The result was less than perfect and made sanding and finishing a bit of a chore. So for the white oak version I milled six 2”x2” squares as well as four 2”x ~10” long pieces, pre-finished the edges that would be showing and edge glued the pieces together to form a center board with eight holes. I then edge glued that board to two other boards to form the top. This approach took less time, was easier to do and yielded better results.

Well done!!!

nice work. I can’t decide which I like better. How long did they take to complete?

I think it was about 300 hours for the two of them combined. But I am not a fast worker.

Beautiful detailed work! I saw some original craftsman style furniture at the Minnesota Institute of Arts recently and what struck me was, despite their originality and detail of the work, was that the craftsmanship of some of the pieces was actually not all that good compared to what is made by you. Excellent clean work.

Awesome, awesome work! I like the trick for the top of the oak table, pretty clever idea. Maybe someday I’ll make something half as nice as this. Thanks for the inspiration.
