Finally it’s complete:) Designed for a client with modern tastes this project had it’s moments!!! It was constructed primarily from alder, with a book matched, home sawn, curly maple veneer top and walnut inlay. Five coats of an oil/varnish finish was applied by both wiping and spaying. To help accentuate the curl in the maple a shellac/dye process was used. It stands 36” high and is 12” wide and 68” long.
Unfortunatley, my most recent photos are less than desirable so hopefully I will have another chance this afternoon to take some more. This photo below was taking in the middle of the finishing process but is much better at showing the figure in the top:)
AWESOME!!
love it Ron! That bent lamination came out great!!!!
Thanks to all!! You gotta love that inlay and eye popping finish on the Maple as well, must have had a good mentor!!
Another piece of art that should be under glass. It looks terrific.
That is absolutely gorgeous! I sure hope it doesn’t take me too long to start creating such nice pieces.
Vic,
I just visited your site and well I think you are on the right track my friend. Practice and patience and more patience than anything!! I wouldn’t be surprised if you couldn’t whip up something like that now!
