    Default Another table

    I milled a sugar maple a while ago one of the limbs had a curve to it so I came up with this. The benches for it came out of the same limb and follow the curve of the table.

    Its not a priority project but I hope to finish it soon.

    Well, it's already a beauty. If this was featured, in a gallery, down town NYC it could bring big bucks.

    Brian,
    I finally figured out your secret! Instead of taking the time to joint all the edges together to make one seamless piece, you leave the edges rough, put the butterflies in and we call it ART.....GENIUS! LOL

    Well it is ART.......beautiful! Good job.

    Looks great, do you use levelers in the feet on your table?

    No sometimes I put felt pads under them the trestle design will conform to a reasonable floor before the wedges are tightened up.

    Nice Brian, but a little nervous about the bark on the inside of benches
    I had a lady visiting the house while we were building a Curly wall table with tight bark, and she leaned over the piece and caught her expensive sweater on the Maple bark
    Just wondering how cotton sundresses and wool dress pants and such would do, as most people push back against the bench when standing up?
    LOVE the spalted leg touch!

    Aah
    With your tools, it's a heck of a lot easier than a 12" drawknife
    My angle grinder and Bosch belt tend to push the wheelchair around, and I got leery after almost grinding my kneecaps a couple times
    Going to be a beautiful set!!
