Another table top I made a while back. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of the build. It is koa veneer on baltic birch with hand carved cherry for the rim. I used steel wool in vinegar and garnet shellac for the antiqueing.
I posted these pics a few months back, but I have more new followers now who may not have seen it.
I am finally at the point where I can get around to completing the table legs, now that all the christmas gifts are done.
So here is the design process for the legs.
I want something with a sense of movement and life.
I started with some rough sketches and refined it from there.
Then I built a small model. Yes, each leg is different.
Here is the complete model with the top.
It will be a tilt top for easy storage or display. I will have to craft some sort of hinge and latch.
The next step is to cut the legs out of a plank of 5/4 walnut.
After that I will get on the lathe to turn the centerpost.
Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think!
