wow that is nice. I love the legs, and the dovetails. thanks for the post.

Great piece Mark, repro’s are always fun and have so much built in character

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

That is a beautiful reproduction!

-- North Texas

This is great work. I have yet to attempt anything quite like it. However ,I am now inspired. Beautiful!

Mark,

This turned out great. I really enjoyed following this project on the blog and it is great to see the finished product. The finish turned out excellent on this. Great pictures by the way!

I’m enjoying the guitar you are doing now too. You will need to post a video when it is done of you playing it so we can hear how it sounds.

Very nice. Those legs turned out great!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

All I can say is it looks like you’ve been building these for about 40 years.

Wow! Absolutely stunning! Love that cherry, and the legs are fantastic. Nice work!

Beautiful job on the legs, and nice grain selection. Well done.

I think you got the most out of that tree Mark. I’d also like to compliment your photography. The pictures of the piece in its natural environment are just stunning.

Mark,

This is a very nice table. Cherry is such a gorgeous wood and you did it proud with this piece.

Nice photos, too.

Mark, Excellent work!

-- Bob A in NJ

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Gator9t9: I’m not exactly sure how many hours I have in the table. I would guess somewhere between 80 and 100 hours of actual construction and finishing time.

I know about first attempts at cabriole legs, I made my first and so far only attempt at the legs this past winter and found it to be both challenging and a lot of fun. You have done this table justice, very nice work.

This is great work

Excellent job! Did you “design” your reproduction or did you copy something specific? Your first attempt at cabriole legs was far more than an attempt. They came out great. Good luck with your future reproductions.

Chuck,

Thanks or the kind words. I did not design the reproduction. The basics of the design were in an article in Popular Woodworking several years back by Glen Huey. Not much different from a typical lowboy except for the single drawer. The entire build process is covered on my blog.

-- Mark, Webster New York, Visit my website at http://thecraftsmanspath.com

Mark,

That’s where you went wrong! You followed Glen’s design!

Just kidding. Glen is a good friend and a great craftsman. You couldn’t have done any better. Now, about that single drawer thing…

The next step is for us to get you to step up to carving those feet instead of turning pad feet (you did turn them didn’t you or did you just shape them by hand?). Maybe I’ll have to blog a step by step on how to carve trifid feet (like Glen has in his article) or maybe I’ll just go straight to DVD with it. In either case, your work is good enough that you should consider stretching a bit. If you need help, just shoot me an email or send me a PM through LJs. Again, great job on the table.

As an aside, where did the brasses come from?

-- Chuck Bender, period furniture maker, www.acanthus.com

Chuck,

Yes, I did turn the feet. I agree that it’s now time to stretch further. I’d like to incorporate more carving into my work. Maybe that’s the next step. Please do blog about the process for a trifid or ball and claw foot…that would be great!

Oh, the brasses came from Horton Brasses.

Nice legs… (blush.) This piece is just great! I really enjoy Queen Anne the most (so much more dignified and even British that this plebian Craftsman thing that is so popular right now…)

In all seriousness, this is impressive work. Very cool!

Texasgaloot: Thanks for the compliments…although I do like the Craftsman stuff too!
