Excellent work!

Could you maybe detail the process of attaching the weaves to the frame. I’m trying to visualize it but not having much luck.

Thanks!!

Marty,

Truly amazing and unique pieces. Beautiful use of “scrap” and the woven wood idea is one that I have been playing around with (I have a headboard design that uses woven walnut for the horizontal and 1/2” alum rod for the vertical) but I have never seen it done this way with the weaving consisting of several species. Favorited! The table is also a powerful piece!

Hi Guys,
Thank you for your comments! There was no plans or real idea in the begining. Work throu the project. The mostrises that recieved the weave were routed in with a router table and lot of layout marks, I used a 1/8” bit to start, but most were only 1/2” in max. cut depth. I finished the 1” depth cuts with Roto Zip scroll bit, had to get 1/8” adapter for router. I then had to cut weave material down and glue and tap in slot to lock weave in place. Tight fit but was tappped below walnut frame on back side.

A skill level I can only hope to some day achieve. A great piece.

It is beautiful… I am not sure I understand, so the stuff that you sit on is s5/64ths strips of wood? how sturdy is it? I would love to make something like that for a porch swing

Awesome, just awesome!!! I like the table too. How did you get the weave on the table circular and stay that way without cracking? What is the circumference?
