Conker Wood and Oak Coffee Table
The table top
- The client wetting his purchase to see the colour and gain pattern under the dirt, fresh from the wood yard.
- The plank was too heavy to move into the workshop, so the table top and other projects were cut down to smaller parts on the trailer.
- The plank/table top was cut down in the thickness on a horizontal bandsaw.
- After the wood was recut we placed it in a woodkiln to reduce the moister content.Then the top was planed flat on the face and reduced to final thickness on the over head router.
- A softwood full sized mock-up was given to the client to live with to confirm they were happy with the sizes prior cutting any nice wood.
- The top being planed by hand to close the open grain after machine cutters had been used.
- A close up of the top surface (without polish).
- The leg frame and magazine rack used Oak from the clients own garden stock, The end rail showing though wedged mortice and tenons.
