    Another table sold at auction

    Hey everyone!

    In know, it's been a while

    Well, I've let another table go to auction at a local art center and it fetched $350. The cool thing - I get half!! It's not a ton of money, but the exposure is worth it - deep pocket attendees

    Table info:
    ~20" square x 29" high
    Top - padauk
    Legs - curly maple
    Aprons - black walnut
    Pegs - black walnut
    Finish - General Finishes oil/poly (gloss) and wax

    Firsts:
    Padauk and curly
    2 sided, long tapers
    haunch tenons

    Thanks for looking.

    Any and all critique is welcome.

    -joe

    Nice work.

    I hate to sound greedy, but how do you arrange to get half? Around here they expect that 100% will go to the charity, and (at most) you get the privilege of leaving a stack of business cards next to the item.

    Thanks Charlie.

    It's nothing I arranged - it was the organizers of the auction.

    $350 appears to be a very good buy for whoever bought it. Nice table!

    Joe, gorgeous table! I think that it would be fun to sit and watch what people will pay. I have a piece going out at a Boy Scouts silent auction. I am interested in what it will fetch.

    Nice contribution.

    Beautiful table Joe! I normally am not a fan of that style but with those contrasting woods and your craftsmanship I'm a fan! Beautiful!

    Love the table. Simple, but elegant. Nice choice of wood. The walnut aprons just help to set off that gorgeous curly maple. Somebody got a good buy.

    Great looking table Joe... $350 look like the buyer made out the best..
    $175 says you probably broke even...still not a bad thing some times...

    Congrats Joe. Its always nice to see that your work is well regarded.

    If I could make an observation. The square edge on the top seems a little unfinished. A slight back-bevel seems like it would merged the top with the tapered legs a bit better. JMHO
