Arts and Crafts dining table and chairs
Blackwood. The parquetry is Indian Rosewood and Huon Pine checks, Rock Maple strips and Black Hearted Sassafras cross-banding. I made it all years ago but have just completed a new table top. The chairs are a Gordon Russell design I adapted from a line drawing. The table top is finished with a number of coats of polyurethane and finished with wax. The surface is very, very smooth and like glass. It's not perfect but I'm happy with it.
I made a lot of use of an oscillating spindle sander to make the parquetry by squeezing the parts, including the rock maple strip (1.25mm thick) between a fence and the spindle. I would recommend the machine for such work.
The sassafras looks very nice in my view.

Looks like a lot of work, but has turned out great.

Stunning Oz, just stunning mate. I love the chairs too. The blackheart sas has given a excellent effect to the parquetry.
