Maple Table

[Mr Ed]

My latest completed project; a console table in Canadian Maple.

Its designed to go on the landing at the top of the stairs, hence the very shallow depth. The leg profile is the same as the cherry table I have shown before, partly for speed and partly because I like it. I was using a limited amount of maple I had to make the table, hence the top is 3 bits joined together. I also laminated 2 X 1" to make the legs as I had no 2", which has worked out OK, although the polyurethane glue line is more visible than I would like it to be.

Hope you like

Cheers, Ed

This is very very nice Ed. I really like the simplicity of it. Some lovely gentle curves and the wedged tenons are a nice touch.

How long did it take you to make it?

 

[Mr Ed]

Well I didn't really keep records, but approximately 30-35 hours I reckon.

Cheers, Ed

Excellent piece Ed...I might have been inclined to make the curved stretcher underneath a tad wider in the centre, what's the finish on it? - Rob

[Mr Ed]

Thanks for the comments.

The finish is blonde shellac, about 12 coats, and then Black Bison wax over the top.

Cheers, Ed

She's got supermodel legs I like ...

The wedged tenons are great. I like a piece of furniture where the form speaks for itself and the maker hasn't gone overboard on flashy technical details (from a layman point of view anyway). Yours fits the bill very nicely.

I like this, Ed.

Simple, clean lines with a couple of things to say that it is just a little different. Maple isn't my favourite timber, but with the contrasting through-tenon and the small size it works really well here.

Very nice!
