Hall table
..yep another hall table, this is my first attempt, table top made from American cherry (turned out much redder when finished), aprons from 'fiddleback' stringy bark using mortise and tenons. It is quite tall and thin depth to fit in with other furniture. Thought that a straight bevel instead of ogee type edge suited it better.
I was going to use the stringy bark for the top but was planed too thin and warped..oh well .
The finish (it is still drying in the photos) is 1/3 poly varnish, 1/3 tung oil and 1/3 boiled linseed oil. Not sure about the three contrasting woods but time will tell.

Photo doesn't do this piece justice. It's hard to get a sense of proportion (all important in a hall table) from the distorted wide-angle shot. I suggest going further away, lowering the point of view, and zooming in. To highlight the figure in the timber, go really close up and try macro mode, and don't try to get the whole table in.
All that said: well done on a nice looking piece.Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

Great work. Does not appear to be much difference in the two timber colours.

Thanks for comments everyone. I've attached a further photo which gives a better look at the medullary rays (I think that's right) of the fiddleback Stringy bark.
Just further I sanded the whole table to around 400 grit but noticed that the fiddleback had dulled after I did it. I used my Veritas cabinet scraper only on the fiddle back scraping with the grain and the result was excellent - made note to self to always use scraper over sanding for final finish over figured grain
Next project is river redgum dining table (and blanket box on backburner) may post when done if it's any good.
Cheers.
