It’s not that I haven’t been working……………..I’m working but not finishing.   I’m giving it up to Chris today because he’s working and finishing and this is what he finished and delivered today.

Live edge, slab wood tables seem to be popular these days, everybody wants one.  Jenn and Lewis wanted one too.

Chris had more big leaf maple in the shop………….3 big pieces were cut up to make the top.

This stack of small scrap is just enough to cut all the pieces for the base…………..believe it or not.

He used the band saw to cut these shapes.

The two ends are roughed out.

There is still lots of shaping to do, but he’s starting to glue it up.

I bet you were wondering what he’s going to do with that big flaw you saw in the rough table top…………..sutures……………reminds me of the stitches they took out of my knee last month.

What beautiful grain in this wood…………..it will really be pretty when the finish goes on.

The base is finally all together.

And the top is on……………the underside looks as good as the top.

It takes many coats of finish.

They haven’t chosen their chairs yet……….. they wanted to wait till the table was in place.

I love the way the other light woods in the room relate to the table and the way it sits on the darker floor.

Did you notice how the ends of the table have a gentle curve?

 

 

Good job, Chris………..another very happy client!
