Ok… lets try something a little different. In an effort to force myself to stay accountable, and carefully document project process, I am gonna attempt a daily process blog for a couple of projects and see how it goes. So yeah… check back for new content, hopefully daily… feel free to add comments, questions or ridicule.
Came up with a new design for a small hall table concept piece this weekend, and worked out the details in SketchUp, model shown below.
The table will be constructed without metal fasteners, using mortise and tenon joinery, and sliding dovetails with the drawers using a combination of half-blind dovetails, through dovetails, and through wedged tenons on the small center drawer. The majority of the table will be constructed of Hard Maple, with a solid singular piece of Wenge for the top, and Ambrosia Maple drawer fronts. The drawer fronts / apron have a gentle arch, and the legs curve gracefully down, making the piece very light on its feet.
