Walnut dining tableMy most recent completed project is this walnut dining table. It's roughly 8ft long and 3.5ft wide.
The legs are steel, which I painted with a semi-gloss black paint.
The top was finished with two coats of Rubio-monocoat and one of wax.I decided to use this simple build as an opportunity to develop my hand tool skills.
Jointing the boards proved to be quite the exercise both in patience and physically.Overall I'm pleased with the end result and love how the walnut looks in the sun.

Marquetry Medal DisplayLooking at my project page I realized I have not posted anything since 2017! My LJ buddy “justoneofme” has been encouraging me to post some more so here goes1
I had some Irish dancing medals of my Dad's and wanted to display them with the justice they deserved. I created our family coat of arms in marquetry and displayed the medals around it. Some of these medals date back to 1937. I think my Dad would have liked what I did. I am going to get the display professionally framed.
