Maple Walnut Display Table

Project by Rj posted 528 days ago 1055 views 5 times favorited 28 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I designed this table to display a hand built 1869 Cutty Sark Clipper Ship.

I wanted the table to look like a figure holding up the display =The top section being the arms ,mid section being the body and the legs to be the legs.

The way I designed the table is so all the weight is transferd to the mid section then outward toward the legs. the inner circle is suspend from the leg section by two maple dowels

It’s made out of Quilted Maple ,Red Maple for the table top ,Walnut & Maple burl =inner circle.

P.S. Sorry for the choppy edges in the 1st pic. =I had to paint out the background to make it a black .
I am in the process of getting the correct equipment to take better pictures (Background -lighting etc.

Excellent concept! Very graceful, and fitting for the display. I’m curious also about the finish you chose. Could you fill us in on that?

Keep this stuff coming—you are humbling me!

Luv it. I enjoy designs that are different. I like the combination of the curved elements and how you replicated those in the inlays as well. Tell us a little more about how you constructed it. Curved work fascinates me.

The table is stunning, and I love how you married the two different species together.

If I may ask, what software did you use to black out the background?
