I got started on the hall table this afternoon. I laid out all the components of the table on 6/4 Hard Maple, and 4/4 Hard Maple, Wenge, and Ambrosia Maple, and roughed out the pieces on the bandsaw. I stickered the slightly oversized components and left them overnight, to allow any movement to take place prior to sizing the pieces to their final dimensions. Notice the Wenge slab at the bottom of the stack… its an extremely difficult wood to work, but finishes beautifully, and should contrast the Maple very nicely.
