Small round table, Maple and Cherry.

It’s a nice design, Dusty. I like the top. I agree that this table is easier to appreciate than it would be to find a home for it, but I like it’s overall look and it’s contrasting woods.

Tom,

Bingo, your right one with that comment.

I do find that there is a niche place and market for these types of pieces that work well in say dead corners in halls, or rooms with small areas that have no style of definite type of theme for the decor.

Because every piece I built I used scrape left over from other projects I not only saved money but was able to sell several pieces making good use of all the wood scraps at the time.

Waste and wood in the same sentence is not a good thing to me.

Unless “using” is included. Fabulous table Dusty.

The strip around the top is a nice touch. Great idea. How did you apply it?

Iclashley,

I cut strips no more than 1/8 inch thick. I thne take my time and tack one end with small brad nail.

I have applied glue to both the top and stri[ and bend arount the top and secure with a band clamp and let dry.

The trick is to have blemish and knot free strips with no flaws.

Works well and looks very nice.

I love contrasting wood, it just highlights everything about the craft.

I personally feel that if it is a “Dusty” piece, it will be appropriate wherever it is placed. Great work dude.
