    Default Latest project

    Just finished this table for my Daughter -in-law as a present for taping David Marks Wood Works . Its a little bigger than his - 450mm square x 700 high with Tas Myrtle burl , wenge frame and Tas Myrle legs - oil and wax finish I was a bit dissappointed in the solid tas myrtle as it had some splits which only became evident when I cut the legs

    Good looking table Peter. There can be both good and bad hidden in a peice of wood you look at most carefully before aquisition can't there! How many times do you get a peice of wood home you thought was perfect in the heat of choosing, only to turn it over to find a b great defect! Only issue I would have is that the wenge seems a little busy up against the burl and the colour a little in the wrong quadrant of the colour circle. I assume the burl was veneer? Your DIL must be very happy to receive such a great peice.

    Looks very nice, and I am sure she will be very happy with it.
    Great job.
    Hopefully one day, I'll get the nerve to try something like that as well

    Great looking table Peter

    It can be disappointing when you cut open some solid timber but on the other hand sometimes you find some diamonds!!

    I do like the legs but not as much as I like yours. Specially when you keep'em shaved.

    Thanks for the comments fellas .

    Jacko . Yes the burl was veneer . The wenge was used by David Marks with a madrone burl (red) and the DIL said she loved it -so that decided the colours. Any way red and black are good footy colours .

    Great work Peter! Love the myrtle burl veneer - hope to do some bedside units in a similar style one day, but the skills escape me as yet. Nice work with the mitred corners.

    Very nice table. The top is spectacular. I wonder if the curved legs compete with the top for attention. Maybe straight legs would make for a more unified design? Still, very beautiful. Can you give a description of how you made that top? I'd like to do something similar for a box lid.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Gooday Zenwood . I straightened the edges of the veneer by clamping the 4 pieces , 2 burl and 2 backing veneers , flush with the edges of 2 pieces of 18mm pine board and used my planer . Taped the edges of the straightened book matched veneers and glued them to 18mm MDF using cauls and clamps . The burl veneer was a bit " crinkly " and next time I will glue the burl veneer to some 3mm MDF first and then straighten it .
