a custom round cherry dining table

we finished this 42" round cherry pedestal table today. its a smaller, simpler table than its inspiration in the photo below. we made that one, which opened up and had three leaves in the early 2000s. this client eliminated the painted details and simplified the inlay design, but its still a handsome piece. click the photos to enlarge them.

this is a better photo, taken with better light and a professional background paper.

another inspiration piece. this table we made back in 2008

the natural cherry and maple burl table, before the finish

the pedestal propeller is three layers of plywood, veneered with 1/16th inch cherry veneer, applied using a male/female form and veneer bag.

the pedestal is 8 separate pieces glued up using our trusty jorgensen band clamps

trevor did the inlay with 6 triangles in the central element and a bunch of small pieces that create the borders.

you can see the apron in the background of this photo, early in the finish process. its eight pieces of a circle, cut from 8/4, and joined with festool dominos, glue, and pocket screws. there is also a 5/16ths slightly offset and overlapping bead on the bottom edge of the apron.

Petersburg Mi Installing more cherry

Here are the latest pictures from the cherry bookcase/fireplace surround. This is the left side of the unit, which is going to be a small storage area for blankets, fireplace accessories, etc. Its starting to take shape now!
This week I expect to be working on the base cabinets to the right of the fireplace, so I can move on to the upper bookcase area.
More to come - stay tuned!
