Default Bubinga End Table

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, the top is 3 pieces. I usually put considerable effort in determining
the wood orientation for grain matching. Sometimes on a larger project I
will spend several days looking at the wood to determine the best use and
orientation. It's all part of the planning process, and I love it when a
plan comes together ;-)

Attached are a couple pics of an end table I recently completed for my
son
and his wife that I had promised them last Christmas. Some of the
bubinga
was left over from my dining room table posted a couple years ago. The
top/apron unit floats float relative to the legs, which are laminated
with
about 16 or 17 layers. This is the thickest lamination I have done and
took considerable pressure to hold to the form. The apron is angled in
to
match the angle of the leg. The finish is poly gel.


It is a really beautiful piece! Congratulations on a job well done.

Is the top made from three pieces edge glued? I think I can see two seams
but the grain match is very well done.

And I love the graceful curve of the legs.
