Please keep the pictures coming. Very impressive.

As you requested. A few more pics. First one is the detail of my pegged mortise and tenon on the three piece burl leg assembly and some various pics of some of the surfaced leaf inlays.

There is some majorly wild color and figure in this walnut and thus far all you have seen is the raw sanded dry wood. Wait til ya see this thing with about 10 coats of clear gloss!:love1:

Well I haven't had a whole lotta time lately but here's what I got done today.Cut out some small ducks from a scrap piece of quilted maple that I found to do a couple inlays on the leg assembly.

Here are a couple of pics of the stretchers that will be attached to the leg assemblies.

I'm gonna try and get all of the sub frame put together tomorrow. Can't wait to see what it's going to look like completely assembled!

Damn, I sure miss woodworking

Made a little more progress today. Couple of "ducks on the pond" inlays on the stretchers with some quilted maple,

one more duck on the Leg assembly,

and made some cleats to use under the table for slotted attachment to accommodate movement in the top.

Now all that is left to do before assembling the table is to drill all the holes and slots, epoxy all the little voids, and final sanding. Next time I should be posting the picture of an assembled table!

Near the "finish line"

Super cool!

The table would be a centerpiece in any lodge, what a work of art.

You have to sign it some where.

Thanks, I was thinking of woodburning my signature and date of completion on the side of one of the stretchers. But I may actually go down to the local jeweler and have him engrave it on a brass plate so i could attach that somewhere instead. I'm putting the final touches on the benches and finish on everything today so I should have completed photos of the table and benches up by tonight I hope! On the benches i used some maple for the inlays in the shape of deer tracks and turkey tracks. It looks way cool. Glad you all like it so far!

Its Final Resting Place!

I finally got the table delivered to the lodge last week. Have been too busy lately to post. Got a lot more pics of the finish and detail but this is the only one that I have ready. It's a picture of the the table at the lodge under the antler chandalier. You can also see some bar stools off to the side that I redid for them too. I made the tops and added the swivels for them. They are made from some nice looking ash we milled up. Some even had a little curl in them. Never seen it in ash before but they turned out nice.

Notice the turkey tracks and deer tracks on the benches. They absolutely loved it!

Masterpiece


You can be very proud of the craftsmanship. People will be using and admiring it long after you've gone on to your reward.
Tried to rep you, but I'm out of bullets!
I'm curious to know what you used for a finish.

That's a dang nice table


anyone else notice the "face" in this picture?

one more duck on the Leg assembly,

At home at Last!

Here is the final resting place of the table and a couple pics of the Live edge Ash 6 drawer dresser and some matching Live edge nightstands with drawers that I built for the lodge. Also an example of the custom tile work that they had done.

I'm still working on several more Ash Dressers and a couple more that are spalted Hackberry.

 

[lumberjackchef]

In all I had to make 8 dressers, nightstands and next are 7 live edge mirrors. What a project this has been! Now I've been enlisted as the personal Chef at the lodge too so its been quite an adventure. They guys are in the middle of muzzleloader season but so far we only have one kill. They other day they bagged a 10 point 300 pounder. Here are a couple more pics.

And one of the perks is that the guy who shot that deer only wanted the trophy mount and backstraps so he gave me the rest! So far this week I've been able to cook fresh caught Alaskan Salmon and I made some Antelope stew the other day from some round steak that they brought to me. I like this gig.
