My Thorsen Table Project #1: Thorsen Table(s) - slow but steady...

This is lookin’ great schroeder. What type of finish do you have planned? Something clear?

Thanks – The finish, I’m really partial to Sealer, Poly and wax – I don’t want to change the natural color of the wood.

how wonderful! I love the table top!

And I really like the lattice. NICE

Nice going Schroeder, I like your presentation. Your going to have two beautiful tables when there completed. The lattice work is going to look real nice. Walnut is the greatest in my book.
I wouldn’t worry about not finishing in time, I think you’ll make it.

I’m still plugging away on my entry.

The table is looking great. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work, Schroeder.

I was unfamiliar with Rodel’s furniture. Thanks for the reference. If your finished table come even close to his values, your wedding gifts will be terrific. Judging from your previous posts, I’m confident that the final result will be outstanding. And please, don’t rush your work to meet an artificial deadline.

Looks great.

Diane

Thanks all.
I’m trying not to rush it Don, but I saw as I was posting this blog that I left no room for the cloud lifts when I put the drawer runners in…(sigh)...a little “re-fit” work to do. Yes I am a huge fan of Rodels work.

Thanks Debbie! (I really thought about staeling your hinged lid idea – I thought that was great!)

Don, Way to up the bar! – I see you carving away over there! (looks great, can’t wait to see it finished)

Thanks Fred & Diane – The competition is tough!

Schroeder; The table looks great. I always love patterned wood so I like the tops. When I go to the sawmill I tell them I want the strangest wood they have.

Those are some beautiful tables. I like the subtle design you did with the inlay. I thought I was seeing things at first or that you had some new way of putting a pattern on walnut. You must finish at least one of these for the contest, you deserve it. The lattice work is a neat look, too. I wish I would have thought of that.

Nice looking tables Schroeder, you’ll make it. So will I. I hope. mike

Good choice staying with the natural color for this beautiful table.

Not me, Mate, I think you meant Dick.
