    Talking Finished Huon Table

    I just finished my HSC major work.
    The top is huon pine i got from Tasmania.
    The round skirting is bent by laminating layers of jarrah about 2-3 mm thick each layer.
    The pedestal is tapered, wider at the base then it is at the top. Cut on a compound jig i made for the table saw.
    The base is jarrah with huon trimming to finish it off.
    I used an organic burnishing oil for finishing all components of the table. Sanding the oil in using wet-dry sand paper on a festool orbital sander. Finishing on about a 1200 grit.
    It make brings out the colour as if the timber is wet with water, highlights the grain while not disquising the beautiful smell of the huon pine.

    Im really happy with the finished product.

    The first one is it half finished from the underside. the groove is where the skirting slotted up into it to be glued.

    Thumbs up

    Very well executed piece young fella!!

    Your proportions are good and the contrast of the two timbers is eyecatching. I am pleased that you did not try to get over decorative with the contrasting colours.

    Great that you made your own jig to do the pedestal, that must be worth extra brownie points.


    I can't help but wonder what a round pedestal would have looked like.

    I have a few, i used straps to clamp it around a circular mold i made.
    It obviously would have been better if the mold was the same height as the strips being laminated, but had to make do. Used the clips to close the gaps on the edges.
