Hourglass Table Concept


Here is a concept for a table I am going to build for my wife. She saw a picture in a magazine and i thought I could build it so i am going to give it a shot. I just got a new bandsaw and figured I could put it to good use. I plan to taper the planar faces of each leg using a thickness planer and a tapered sled.

I think the apron is too tall in this mock up. I will probably reduce it by around 40% to make the table feel lighter. I may incorporate a drawer too. The main construction challenge I see is attaching the aprons to the legs--they meet at a 45 degree angle and cutting the joinery will be a challenge.

I'll let you know how this one goes...

Pictureframe Concept


I decided to start this blog with a simple pictureframe.  I found a nice piece of quartersawn bubinga that was 12" wide...it was a shame to rip it down but so it goes.

the rendering is above.  I plan to shape the cove, then install a cocobolo inlay around the perimeter and back-bevel the outside edge.  I will post as I complete major steps.

Happy New Year!
