Demilune Table

LOML wanted something to put by the front door, so I made this:

One of my favorite pieces, I love these...you did a great job;
Excellent veneer on the top... what kind of finish?
(David Marks would use Tung oil, ya know! [] )

Nice table, do you have a few more pictures, preferably showing some detail around the legs meeting the rail.

How did you get the square legs on your lathe? Did you use a milling machine?

Great job! That's really pretty.

There is a rule here against new members posting fine work that humbles the rest of us. []
Seriously, very fine craftmanship. Beautiful.

Very nice work, and especially on that veneer. Even though I do a lot of "flat work" as the hardcore turners say, I have never done much veneering. I am impressed!

 

[NavyDiver]

Beautiful work! I am embarassed to say that I had to look up "Demilune" [)]

 

[denoto]

Very Nice!

Thanks everyone. I don't have any other pictures. The legs are joined to the apron using bridle joints. The "accents" are small cherry pieces. I added those to cover up the rather poor fitting bridle joints. I used my band saw to cut the joints, and then a chisel to square them up. Needless to say, they didn't turn out as good as I had hoped. [:I]

" How did you get the square legs on your lathe? Did you use a milling machine?"
You have to turn the speed WAY down, and be REAL fast with a hand plane! []

The finish is just 3 or 4 coats of shellac, wet sanded to 400 grit, then 3 coats of Poly.
