    Default Sometimes things just don't work out....?

    I love using Asian joinery techniques in my furniture and, through restoring Chinese furniture, I've learnt how do use many of these elegant solutions BUT, when the roles are reversed and Asian woodworkers use western techniques .... well, sometimes it just doesn't work out!

    A table top in a 'rural' eating place, there were 6 tables and, on the other 5, the bow ties were the right way round! When they saw me looking at it they apologised and offered to move me because "that table always wobbly".........

    I hope you set them straight Fletty that it wasn't the table wobbly then in your own true Gentleman Woodworker way extol the virtues of epoxy or CA and filling the gaps.
