After a year and and a half of on-again off-again work, I've finally finished this curved-leg hall table. The table is walnut with figured maple drawer parts. The design is my own, although I took ideas from lots of photos from lots and lots of web searching.


This is the most complicated piece I've made (still VERRRRY much a novice). There are many firsts for me here - first time making dovetails (all hand cut, lots of boo-boos), first jig-made curved legs, etc.

The pulls are homemade from ebony.

The table was finished with a light coat of BLO followed by dark seedlac.

A few last-minute mistakes to correct (drilled through the talble top only slightly when attaching, blew out one of the pulls when attaching ashkgls,jldlf;kh) But, overall relieved...

The table came out beautifully. How long did it take?

Great job! I like the top. The pulls are really nice. looks like it will be an heirloom. Make sure you sign and date it underneath.

Asian Shaker if that can be. Looks very good, and I'm wishing all my DT's were as terrible as yours. Wood is well worked, and oriented for best bang, good job.

I like it!
