Very nice table and great wood choice. I really like bloodwood.
As you mentioned, it would be interesting to see a larger version of this.

I love bloodwood but it has become very hard to find around here in the last few months. I can find the pinkish color bloodwood but not the dark red, but I am still looking because I’d love to make it larger some day soon.

Very nice! Is it possible to see a photo of the underside of the tray?

Thanks

Thank you Atchison

No I am sorry I’ve already delivered the tray and stand and didn’t take a picture of the underside. But it has a 1/4 lip all around the bottom so the stand is stopped from opening any more. I also cut the angle along the top of the stand so it sits flat on it and not on a point.

Very nice design and execution. How about Jatoba (Brazilian Cherry). It is pretty red and is one of my favorites. Cheaper than most exotics and often available as ‘leftovers’ from wood flooring projects. It too is really heavy so I’d resaw/ plane it thinner.

Thank you very much. I also love Brazilian Cherry. The next one u am making is out of ribbon purple heart. I’ll post pictures when it’s done. I might also try some simple inlay with this one.

Thank you again
