#1 | | Dining table - Done! Name: David City: Pittsboro State: NC County: Chatham Join Date: Oct 2005 Age: 52  11-02-2009, 01:21 PM
From concept: 
To reality: 
Just a few pics, not brilliant, but I will try and take some more. I will also try and do a "how I did it" if any body is interested.
Material cost was about $2,000, of which $1400 was the custom glass. The woods are Curly soft maple and cherry.     
Thanks for looking. Those who are coming on the shop crawl can poke around it and see it in more detail.

Eek! Angled through tenons, braces and floating skirts! Please, no "how-to", my head would explode  Actually I'd love to hear about how you put this together, I am _very_ impressed how you used traditional techniques to build a contemporary piece.
Absolutely beautiful work.

Wow that is one awesome looking table. I have to say, I'm partial to people mixing in other materials with wood. The rippled glass looks great with the maple.

Beautiful work David! I am more interested in the inspiration for the piece than the how-to, but I would be interested in that too!
