Federal Tip Top Table

That is one sweet table. Is it walnut? I sure like the grain on the top.

Nice job.

You could also put a couple of boards across the tops of a couple of your tables and make a larger table.

Suggest that to your wife. It would be like leaves in an extension table.

Beautiful job.

Walnut – yep. Claro walnut, actually. It’s what we can get out west.

Oh, and the creative ideas my wife has with my small tables don’t involve boards….

The streets here are lined with 100 year old examples that were planted when walnut trees were considered to be ornamental. Too bad the City thinks they are too messy and started planting “friendlier” trees.

great job…and as far as those trees ChicoMAN mentions…he talks of a famous downtown square in chico that was re-done a few years ago and they tore out huge , beautiful trees..replacing the square with a lot of cement…

Very elegant and classic table. I can see why you enjoy making them. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

this is a great looking table to say the least…...how many did you make that got the little lady so perturbed ???

It’s kind of like the Eskimo thing—I made about 7-8 different ones.

I’ll get my camera out and take a couple of pictures of them.

Uh, did I tell you that they actually look really nice? Even when protruding from various bodily orifices?

Very nice looking table!

Chuck,

Great looking table, perhaps for the next one you should meld ‘orifice friendly’ into the design.

As an ex Moscow ID resident, I used to love the WA pheasants that wandered too far east

Very nice table, well done.

Not being a fan of the Federal Period, I really enjoy the looks of this table. Do you have a picture of the table folded up from the back side?

I don’t, but I’ll see if I can’t snap one. it has a hand-carved hinge block.

I’ve added a third picture of the back—just like period furniture—as minimally finished as possible! ;-)
