This is a simple centerpiece for which the pattern was listed in Woodsmith vol. 173. The construction is relatively simple. All four sides are beveled. Dadoes are cut in both the legs and the centerpiece base. The centerpiece is cherry and the legs are teak. The project was sanded to 400 grit before applying 3 coats of danish oil followed by 4 coats of poly. After the poly cured it was sanded it to 2000 grit.
Thanks for looking.

Looks like a great way to avoid gettin in the hole, been there, done that, and lost the T-shirt in the divorce.
Real sharp.

Neato! I made one of these too for my nephew’s partner for Christmas. I used mahogany for the body and paduk for the legs then finished with several coats of clear laquer followed by one coat of satin. It is interesting to see how the different combinations of woods look together. I did the 1/8” split down the middle too with the stretchers to seperate the halves.

This is really beautiful. I like projects that have clean lines and simple in design (but not simple to build). You do nice work.

This is a great project Scott. The choice of different woods makes a fine contrast! The finish looks great too.
