    Default Nakashima Inspired Table

    Hi Guy's

    I'm new here and I thought I would start out with some photos. Pictured is a Cherry Nakashima inspired table along with a few Walnut slabs in waiting.

    Hi timberwerks,
    Welcome to the forum.

    Great table,
    How are the legs attached?
    What do you have in mind for chairs?
    Regards, Bob Thomas

    Thank's everyone. The table legs are let into the top with mortise and tenon joinery. The two large legs have multiple tenons to increase glue surface, the small leg has just a single tenon. This table is a coffee table and is 17" tall, so no chairs for this one.
    In the near future I will build a desk with chair, I'm not sure of design yet.
    Most of my work is done with handtools, I tend to favor Japanese planes etc. I'll put up more photos soon of work in progress.

    Very nice work indeed, but when I think Nakashima I think of a combination of natural edge and geometric timbers. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a lovely table!

    Echidna, they would have to be itsy, bitsy chairs.

    Yes, you are correct. I wanted to do something a bit different so it would not be a direct copy of his unique style he is so well known for. I do prefer the more contempory geometric design over what I have here. I consider myself to be a contemporary furniture maker and this design is almost to rustic looking because of the live edge base. Next tables will use a more contemporary base with Asian influance.

    Welcome. That is one solid looking table. Very nice work.

    Welcome to Ubeaut Dale!

    As always, your work is just wonderful. I am always inspired by the sense of freedom that is expressed by Nakashima's work, and this is evident in yours as well. I hope that you will post some of your pieces in which you tie boards together with butterfies. They have such a light and natural feel.

    Regards from Perth

    Hi Dale and welcome,
    Recon you have done the slab proud. May I ask what finish, seems to give good depth to the piece given the different colours and textures.
    Cheers Mike

    Thanks Mike

    I use the Sam Maloof finish. The photos show the table after one coat, it has 6 total.
