My latest Sutherland. This form has proven to be my best seller, along with the grandkids table.
This is solid wood (no veneers) in 5 species; Black Walnut, Yellowheart, Paduak, Black Cherry and Wenge. Dimensions are essentially the same as others; 30” tall, 48”x48” when open and 9”x 59” closed.
The top is 100% epoxy covered, 2 coats. Then 3 coats of Maralaq (sp), hand buffed with 0000 wool and then power buffed.
Yes, for all wondering, I intentionally used a lot of sap wood especially on the Walnut.
The dark stripe on the hinged edge not shown is a 1/4” Walnut banding with a 5/8”x5/8” strip behind it inletted into the bottom for additional strength.
Primary difference on this one from prior versions is an unseen change under the center. I have used a single stretcher in the past, but due to the inherent weakness of this one, there are two smaller stretchers brought out close to the edge, screwed and epoxied in place.
I don’t keep time records, but this took approximately 90 hours.

That table will not go unnoticed anywhere.
I like the colors, patterns and just the randomness.
Nice abstract art piece.

Love this table, and not only because of the wild and wonderful top. It also looks so useful and flexible from a decorating standpoint. A real woodworking treat.

Outstanding! 90 hours well spent. I was going to share my best work to date but… I’ll have to step it up. You like many of the others here have opened my eyes.

Wow reminds me of collage days…lol.. Great job, I love the colors and using sap wood is cool. I used some on a outdoor table I made and really like it…. Love the yellowheart I have yet to use it but like the look of it.

Nate Meadows, there are NO veneers ! It’s solid wood glue-up. Looks the same from floor view!
Thanks all!
