Blended, meaning partially turned project and partially flat, but all of it is round. This is a project that had been in the shop for quite some time, intermittently getting work between a plethora of other projects. It is now finished and ready for delivery to my son and his wife.
The table top, 48 inches diameter, is shop made ash veneer (about 1/8 inch thick) with the center bookmatched BLM burl and the perimeter the same, glued up over high density particle board top and bottom (no burl on the bottom). The pedestal is constructed with twelve staves and turned then fluted with a shop made router jig while still on the lathe. The legs are glued up ash as well. I made two skirts; the first one steam bent. It didn't turn out flat in the plane of the top so I laminated a second one. Sanded to 320, oil base stain with six coats water based poly. Sanded it out with 320 between coats 4 and 5. Not my favorite finish but durable for the family.
Sorry if this does not comply with the posting rules, so please relocate if necessary.
C&C please.
