Devil's tornado table

Project by Zipsss posted 562 days ago 546 views 7 times favorited 21 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is my second attempt at this table, the first one had solid legs, but there were weak at certain points, this one is laminated and very stable. The proportions are also an improvement, since this one looks a lot lighter than the first. The top is veneer olive tree and the legs are mahogany. The sides are Elm with mahogany(eyes).

The name is obvious after you look at the table top.

I drew up a table with this leg design a couple months ago and have yet to construct it. Nice job on yours. Did you come up with it yourself or is it from a plan?

Great looking job! Lamination is the only way go for something like this.

As far as I know, this is my own design. I look all over the internet for something similar, but I did not found any reference to this leg twist design.
Lamination works very good, but next time I will try steam bending.

Fantastic Design! Great Execution. I got the image of a bat’s face on the table top. Thanks for sharing.

Wow The table top is truly one of a kind. Wood crafters look a life time to see examples such as your table and then can’t afford to take it home with them.

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice table! I have been working on a table that Is very much like this one. I feel really bad, you came out with one before me. I was stumped as how to make the legs strong enough. But I like your idea. You are a very good craftsman. Great job!!!!!!!!

Another great rendition of your twist leg table. It looks fantastic and the veneer top is great.
