Contemporary side table

Furnished content.

Contemporary side tableThis project started out as a set of night stands. My wife decided that they needed to be in the living room so that's where they went. I made the first one several years ago but life and all of it's insanity intervened so the final one was just completed. The design is my own. I prefer simple clean lines and minimal ornamentation. The wood is domestic cherry from a New England farm of a friend. A majority of the work was by hand tools, all of the joinery was by hand.The curved relief on the legs was done with a turning saw and a compass plane.Too keep everything aligned during the build and glue up I used a pair of pine frames.The top pieces forming the floating top frame were nailed into the upright mortices with bamboo skewers.Finish is natural Danish oil and wipe on satin poly.I don't know if I should take this as a bad omen but a hummingbird flew into my shop and pooped on the table right after i did the last coat of wipe on poly!

Sofa tableAnother sofa/river table. Top is myrtle, with mother of pearl in the river part. Still have not figured out how to get the epoxy to shine. Plus I forgot to seal the wood especially the edges before epoxy. Bottom is walnut.

Tresale TableFinally getting caught up with posting projects that I completed in the fall of 19. The table was a house warming gift to my stepson, made of local oak that was planed and jointed by machine.The majority of the work was done with hand tools and went well. Unfortunately I continue with my on going struggle with putting on finishes.
