Side Table

Welcome to LJs.
Great Job. Clever selection of wood and colour.
I purchased 2 sqf curly marple veneer about 6 months ago, and still haven’t do anything with it. Maybe one day when I’m more confident working with veneer, I will build one likes yours.

Thanks for sharing

What a fantastic piece. I would love to see any construction pictures and hear about how you did it.

Thats sweet!!! Few people understand the effort that has to go into french polish work. It looks like you put some real time into this one. Outstanding job.

Great looking table!

Bloonose, that’s a stunning piece! I love the contrasts and the burl. I would also like to see a blog on the construction too…including pictures of course.

Thanks for posting it.

VERY nice table. I always enjoy contrasting woods and you’ve made the most of those. Thanks for showing it.

Oh man that is some good looking burl. Can you elaborate on how you matched it? It looks like a Rorschach test.

Thank you for all the kind words, I have no blog so need to figure out a way of uploading pictures of the stages. Is it ok to add more to the 3 above or do they need to be posted some other way?

You can only post three with the uploader. You will need to put them on another site like photobucket then link them in your post by using the Insert image button on the top.

I’m trying to learn how to insert the images, hope this works. I had 4 consecutive leaves of veneer which were trimmed by hand and edged with a sharp plane between 2 sheets of ply, then taped and glued to a liiped MDF substrate. A large router bit removed the excess to a measured width and depth on a router table. The banding was made of squares taped together to make lengths which were mitred with a sharp chisel and glued to the gap now made round the edge. After trimming, a slot was cut all round the edges on a spindle moulder, then stringing inserted after being hand mitred on a shooting board. The stringing round the center panel was done with a router and a very small bit. Hope that all makes sense?

Wow, tight miters. This is definitely more art than furniture

I’ve posted another project which is awaiting the finish to be applied, lots of Burr again and hand cut dovetails, 60 in the drawers alone plus the top. I’ll need to add photos in the comments again.

Thanks for the kind words again about the Side Table!

Another beautiful project! I discovered this after your second post. Wonderful work.
