I wanted to pitch a design to a client for their project, and what better way than to build them a sample? The “wedges” are each two pieces cut at nine degrees with a taper jig and glued together to form an 18 degree wedge. The edges of the wedges (hey, I’m Longfellow) are rounded over 1/8” as are the edges of the “rays”. I glued up the wedges and rays using a jig I built to keep the wedges from backing out. Next an arc is routed at the base of the rays using a trammel and a ΒΌ” straight bit. The “sun” piece is also routed with the trammel and straight bit adjusted to cut the correct size inside arc. Then roundover the edge of the sun and the base of the rays and glue in the sun. Finally, a panel raiser on the back side so the panel will fit in the groove, and glue up the rails and stiles.
White Oak, Walnut Danish Oil.
The client loves it. When I build the project, I’ll document the build/glue process in a blog.

Very cool. A prototype is so much better than a picture.

Thanks, guys! I don’t know how to describe this project … I guess you’d call it a table, but instead of being open underneath it is skirted to the floor all the way around. The skirt will be like wainscot and the panels will be the sunburst pattern.
The client is giving me a lot of freedom with the design, so this project will be a lot of fun! The material should arrive Tuesday, so I’m trying to get everything else wrapped up because once I start on this I won’t want to do anything else!
