Excellent work. Definitely a tribute to Mr. Maloof. Beautiful photgraphy as well.

May I ask a bit on what finish you are using on your pieces? It looks very nice.

Holy Moly! Tremendous work. Your posts are going to tax my available adjective vocabulary. I’m very impressed at this caliber of work!

Fantastic! Any chance we could get an underneath view to see how you designed the leaf hold ups?

This is an amazing piece!

Absolutely fantastic. The hinge work is quite impressive.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I didn’t have the hold outs done at the time of this photo shoot so I don’t have any pro shots if of them. I will take a couple with my camera and post them ASAP.

Mark, the Finish I like is just a basic wiping varnish, 1/3 Poly, 1/3 build Linseed oil 1/3 Mineral spirits.
Need to sand down to about 400 and then burnish it with 0000 steel wool. I couldn’t ask for a better looking finish and it’s very easy.

Very pretty table. I’m in awe.

Turned out beautiful..the leaves cascade from the top like a waterfall. The figure in the top is just splendid.

How did I miss this before?
Good looking piece.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

This is an awesome table. I can’t look at it enough. So is the hinge a metal rod or wood?

-- It's not that a craftsman never makes mistakes, he just makes it look like it.

thank you, I used a 3/16” bras rod for the joint.

Your selection of wood really sets this table apart from the rest.The grain matching is perfect.This was a labor of love and it shows.Well done!
