Its been a while since I posted anything but I finished this Table up a couple of weeks back and thought I would throw a picture up real quick. My oldest daughter is getting married this Saturday so not much time for anything else.

WOW John, what a stunning piece. Is it Maple? Tell us how you did the curves in the skirt and the legs. I "specialize" in Federal Period and Queen Anne Period pieces and think this is top notch work!

Wonderful work! I would love to see a shot of the table taken from the bottom up; and a detail shot of the B&C feet. Did you carve the edge profile on the top, or only the required parts of it? Is the design taken from a John Goddard table? It seems similar, but I am away from my reference books at the moment.

Very Well Done John!! I might be biased, but to me there is nothing quite so nice as 18th century furniture done well.

John,
That is absolutely stunning work! Can anyone tell me what kind of tool was traditionally used to make the profile on the edge of the table top? With all those curves, I'm guessing a traditional profile plane would be out of the question. Some kind of super heavy duty scratch stock, maybe?

John,
That is one fine table. I'm sure that will be a family heirloom.

John;
That is realy a thing to behold. All I can say is WOW. I don't dare show that to my wife, she'll want to know why I can't do something like that.
