mds2 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Here is a table that I have been working on for a while now. The tops are from a walnut crotch and the legs are made from ash. A while back I posted a thread in the general forum about filling a cut in the end of the slab. Originally I wanted to use ebony, or something very dark, but I couldn't source what I wanted. Instead I laminated some maple veneer and crammed it in there. Gluing it in place was pretty difficult but I am happy with the results. A few months back I made a smaller table with a piece from the same walnut crotch as a prototype. Here is mama and baby. My favorite thing about this table is the figuring in the top slab, I think it is beautiful. Originally I had completely filled the large void in the top with epoxy, but I didnt like the way it turned out so I removed it. I welcome all comments and critisms. Thanks for looking.

fransikaner Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Definitely no criticisms here. Awesome outcome! Your maple gap-filler turned out beautifully and now you have two lovely heirloom pieces. Thanks for sharing on the whole journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I like the maple pinstripe! Take a flaw and create a feature! I have some walnut slab scraps that I need to figure out a good use for, thanks for some inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
