I just finished building two bent lamination drum tables. I posted the thread on the construction of these little tables about a week ago. If you haven’t seen it, here is the link,
A little table that took a whole lot of work. (Pix)
The Indonesian rosewood table was commissioned for a client, and I built this one out of Striped Asian Ebony. I will keep this one in my gallery. They were built at the same time and the only difference is that on the ebony table, I used wenge stiles.
I stayed with the designer’s choice of the “falling leaves” for the pulls.
This table also has a 16 segment starburst veneered top. The striped wood really shows off here.
This detail shot really shows how I had to shape the outer face of the stiles to match the diameter of the round horizontally curved molding.
When I’m gluing the outer framework on my veneered tops, I am a stickler for perfectly aligned joints where the frame segment meets the veneer segments. If all eight of these aren’t perfect, I think the top is trash.
Anyway, I’m not sure which one I like best, here they are side by side,
Please tell me which one do you like the best?
Thanks for looking,
