Hall Table

**Peter36** · 31st July 2005, 06:59 PM

Just finished this table to take to my daughter in Strathalbyn when we visit soon . It's 900x300x700 finished with Mirotone precat and wax . The legs and frame are blackwood and the top is blackwood veneer that I got from Peter Scott Young in East Ringwood . Whatever you want I'm sure he would have it .I wanted some highly figured veneer to contrast with my lighter cloured wood and he new exactly where to find .

Great work. Nice legs. I bet you hear that alot.

Excellent.
Lucky daughter.

Very tidy work Peter. I've always liked blackwood.

Did you lay the veneer yourself, or was it already supplied on a substrate ? If you did it yourself I'd love to read a couple of quick points as to how you went about it, as veneering is something I've always wanted to try but never gotten around to.

Cheers,

Justin.

Yes I love to hear about the veneering my selft. I have some buerl ash, and waterfall bebinga I want to play with.

Very clean lines. I love it Pete

Nice table Peter. Nice tight mitres, too, & good choice of timbers.

Peter, fantastic work and something your daughter will value for many years to come

G'day Justin and Terry . Yes I glued up the veneer myself onto 16mm MDF. The veneer was the width that I wanted (200mm)so I didn't have to join leaves . I used a 2inch foam paint roller to roll aquadhere onto both the veneer and the MDF , laying up both sides of the MDF ,and clamped the MDF between 16mm pieces of laminated particle board (whiteboard) using 4 inch G clamps . Anything much wider than 300mm I would use cauls on . Washed out the roller afterwards . One of those vaccuum thingies would be great

Nice work mate.

Did you cut the legs on a bandsaw? How did you smooth the surface afterwards? Just sanding?

G'day Trav . Yes I cut the legs on the bandsaw and smoothed them with a block plane even on the inside curves by having the plane at about 70deg or so , so that the blade followed the curve - finished with sanding .The legs only had a slight curve .

Thanks for the info on the veneer. I'm just gonna do some small boxes first and a few other small prodjects.

Beautiful piece, Peter. Love the choice of timbers and the subtle details.

Did you veneer the opposite face as well (the 'B'-side) or don't you have to do that with MDF?
