i was not sure where to post this one so i put it in here. its a wood table i am building out of quilted maple, pommeled makore and , burled walnut there will be a compass in the center of the table its just not done yet. any ways here are some pics of what is done so far the center is a sun burst i did in quilted maple the outside is the makore.
this is why i love fabricating multiple materials you get to do some great stuff some times
October 25, 2008 at 10:38 pm #46092Eli PoliteMemberits all done by hand no cnc’s or lasers
October 26, 2008 at 9:28 am #46094Karl CrooksMemberI love wood, so much to look at. Was that for a customer? What type of edge will it have ?
October 26, 2008 at 11:25 am #46096Eli PoliteMemberyes it is for a customer ther is still much to do on that project ill post more pics as i go
October 26, 2008 at 2:59 pm #46099Dani HomrichMemberEli,
Looks great, reminds me of the old days. That was the only type of work I did 30 years ago, no counter tops then just furniture.
Looking forward to more pics.October 26, 2008 at 4:07 pm #46103Tom MMemberEli, that looks like it’s coming out beautiful. Is it to a spec or your design?
October 26, 2008 at 4:39 pm #46107David GerardMemberPSSSST don’t say it’s for your mom! Get Andy in trouble!
Nice top, will you laminate it to sonthing using a vac bag clamp sytem? I love quilted maple, make good mando backs and sides
October 26, 2008 at 6:50 pm #46110Eli PoliteMemberti is my design i had a little input from the customer on what she wanted and i drew it up. this particular customer found us on stone advice and we did a granite top for her in brushed abs black with a drain board. she had a tiger maple hutch in her home that i commented on we got into a conversation and i ended up doing this table for her. my roots are in cabinet making and furniture making. thats how i got into the counter top industry first with laminate and solid surface and than on to engineered stone and granite and every thing else by being versatile in the materials i work with i find all kinds of work that normally i would never get to do
more pics to come later
October 27, 2008 at 12:21 pm #46137Andy GravesKeymasterLooks like Eli has got one up on me with this table thing. If I don’t hurry I will end up doing inlays and rosettes.
Mom, don’t get any bright ideas.
October 27, 2008 at 6:42 pm #46161Eli PoliteMemberOctober 27, 2008 at 6:43 pm #46162Eli PoliteMemberher are a few more the compass inlay is burled walnut
October 27, 2008 at 7:44 pm #46168Lenny EMemberThat is beautiful, I didnt think it was burled wood when I looked at it. It almost looked like Formica mica series (thye swirly stuff). No matter what it is, thats one handsome piece of work.
Kudos,
Lenny
October 28, 2008 at 12:24 am #46191Andy GravesKeymasterEli, did you already sell that table or is it for yourself?
October 28, 2008 at 10:28 am #46199David GerardMemberSounds like Andy is ready to make an offer Eli
October 28, 2008 at 11:27 am #46213Eli PoliteMemberits for a customer it was commishiond i do this kind of work all the time if your interested let me know each one i build is slightly diffrent so im not making duplicates the price range on this top 30″ is rite around $900 the wood cost $400 it takes a few weeks to make one because i fit it in around other work if you want one let me know
that just the top if you want a base i would have to figure a price in this case i am building the top to go an an existing base its a chrismas gift for her husband
