one of our most popular designs

we finished and delivered another version of one of our popular

mid century modern expanding round tables .. we've made at least 6 or 8

or even more of this design in various sizes and color shades of walnut.

 

this one was a 60" round with three 20 inch leaves

making for a 5' x 10' table when fully extended ..

as usual, we started with a log of walnut from irion lumber in PA,

though this is not a picture of it ... it looked  kind of like this thougg the

boards were all the same length and there were several bookmatches to chose from

my man trevor had at it, vuutting the top, the beveled aprons, and
the base pieces on the cnc ..

generic cad drawing for this design ... just add leaves

steel table runners from moin hardware

same finish as this table

yet one more round walnut table

12/13/16 ... all in , all done .. ready to roll off to new york this week

12/19 .. home for the holidays

 high gloss laquered ceiling .. wallpaper

72" round, 2 18" leave ... below is the story ...

first, a couple of scale drawings of the table in the room

and an elevation below

i am not sure what is going on in the marketplace, but this year has been one for us

just full of round walnut tables, with and without leaves, lots and lots of live edge 

tables, claro walnut and spalted maple mostly, 3 serious steel and walnut pool tables of the same design,   and other items involving steel in some form or another.  i'm not complaining mind you, in fact, i like

the mix ... i'm just curious why the mix isn't more broad.  must be google ...

so, here comes another round walnut table, at least the 5th this year ...six feet in diameter with 2 leaves,

to be followed shortly afterwards by another round walnut table, 60 inches in diameter, no leaves. ... 

go figure ... where are the desk, sideboard, and other case piece folks?

no worries ... here's the wood we got from irion lumber for the 72" round  ... some progress photos below ..

the base is veneered and the columns are cut to a rough shape.

they will be sanded up and the base should be all assembled tomorrow or wednesday.

 trevor cut the halves of the tops today .. waste not, want not ...

he cut it close with his glue up

the two halves of the top and the apron parts .. all cut on the cnc

the sub top, the equalized runners from rockler, and the leaves waiting to be cut and fitted.

more photos as we progress ...

11/29/16  first rough assembly of the parts today
