 Posted: Tue Mar 31, 2015 7:14 pm Post subject: New Table |
 |
|
Now that I have retired again I have had some time to make a new table for Raven Dancer.
The table is 3/4" maple trimmed in mahogany, the compass rose inlay is 1/8" thick mounted on a piece of 3/8" marine plywood. The Rose is 12" in diameter, and made out of 4 different exotic hardwoods.
I'm in the process of putting a clear coat poly on the entire project now.
I can't figure out how to put a picture in this post so if you want to see it you will have to go to Raven Dancer photo album and look at page two on the bottom.
Dave. |

| My kind of art. Can I ask, what are the one or two tools/machines that are your favorites for this kind of work? Larry |

Hello Big Dave,
That is fine artwork! You do great work. Did you use a vacuum system to clamp it?
Thanks for sharing,

Thank you all for the very nice comments. The table and setting the inlay took about 7 weeks and I'm still not finished. It has been a very fun and frustrating project, but I always say if you know what your doing your not learning anything.
If I had to make and sell them they would be priced so high no one would want one !
I would not have been able to do the project without my bandsaw, router, table saw, squares, clamps, and assorted jigs.
I will put some more pictures in once the mounting hardware is attached and it's in the boat.
Thanks again for all the nice comments.
Dave
