Wrapped Table

stunning.
Yes, indeed, you definitely have an identifiable style. This is definitely a “Kaleo”.

another fine piece of workmanship.

Love the lines, the crispness of the piece and the contrast of colours

curious…..............how many hours in it?

-- http://www.furnituremann.ca/

This took table took 8 hours to make. I have this table along with a few others in mind for production. So to be able to make them fast means more money, I hope at least.

Another interesting piece, Kaleo. If the first one took 8 hours how long will the 25th one take? It is a very nice, modern looking table. I hope it sells for you.

-- Thos. Angle

Kaleo, the design is beautiful. But I have to ask…is it stable? Intuitively, it seems like it would tend to sway from side to side.

That is beautiful. I love it. Excellent craftsmanship in the simple form. (Nice photos also.)

I love it too, wonderful piece and great photos (something I need to work on) How have you dealt with the wood movement of the top?

Charlie- It looks as though it would sway, but the frames are screwed into the top. Therefore the top of the table acts as it’s own stabilizing rail. The table is actually really solid, a lot more so than I imagined.

Damian- there is about a 2 mm gap on each side of the top. In between the top and the frames. The frames are screwed on and the screw heads sit in a slotted hole to allow the screws to move with the wood.

Thanks for all the kind words

Really unique piece, Kaleo. I really like it.

I see Kaleo, thanks, and good luck with the exhibition.

All I can think of is…Beautiful!

Well done Kaleo!!

so light and elegant, If these are as stable as they don’t appear to be, you’ll sell some to very happy customers.

Thanks scottb- I actually really like the fact that things don’t appear stable but are. So hopefully I got that desired point across in this piece. lol

Now that is one of the nicest tables i’ve seen for months, extremely nice design! 8 hours?? I could multiply that by ten and still not get something as good as that, I may steal/adapat the idea for a future sideboard if you don’t mind :)

Kaleo, Mate – a very graceful design and as Debbie states, it definitely has the Kaleo signature. Congratulations on completing your course. What next?

Byron, I don’t believe that you could steal the idea. You would definately put your own twist on the idea, which then would make it yours. I am flattered that you would use something that I made as inspiration for another pieces, thanks

Don- Well I’m not done quite yet. Still finishing up one last project that I hope to have done by next week and then it’s all down hill from there. What’s next? Well my wife is having our 2nd child and then we head back home to Washington D.C. to get a job and try and start a business.
