Hourglass Table Dry Fit
It's all coming together now. With the mortises in the apron stock complete, all the substantial cutting for the table is almost done. Today I dry fit the table together and took the measurements for the lower shelf that I laminated up last week (it turned out fine - i will definitely use this method again.)

Brian, love your blog, the quality of pictures is superb and your style of explanation together with pictures is really well done. Your crafstmanship also looks top quality.
I found you through The Wood Whisperer.
I had one question for you, how do you intend to dress the edge of the bottom shelf ?

David- thanks or the compliments. I am in the process of completing the finishing / trim steps and should have those steps posted in the next couple days.
to answer your question, i am banding it with more walnut that is about 3/16" thick.
finishing is about 50% of the work on this one and it is just not as exciting as the construction phase. you've got to put in he work though, otherwise everything ends up looking like crap.
