Here is my latest effort; my first Lathe and Bandsaw attempt

Started off as 4" x 4" redwood




Oak base pieces: 3 mm thick steel squares for top of legs to underside of table


Base pieces shaped provisionally with new Bandsaw; my first bandsaw cuts -- only bought B/S last week

Provisional mock-up


Walnut table top is 40 pieces of 0.8" sticks
With some water sprayed on to give idea of finish


All parts will get a thorough sanding/filing etc before some stain and finish

nice work cordyline,

That's raw talent cordy....lovely work.

I do enjoy Cordy's posts, always something of interest going on.

Nice work Cordy, the natural gain will come out lovely when it's stained

cordy..... is the embroidery someone's handiwork?

No Anne we are not into embroidery

Progress
Mixed Fiddes Mahogany dye with Tung oil and thinners


The top will be the underside of table; testing mix ratios


The metal plates may be an overkill but the top sits on level



Pocket holes and Domino Dowels secure the base

Progress, the uprights and base have Morrells red Mahogany dye followed by Tung oil/White Spirit
Table top likewise but Mahogany dye




With a small Goblet they helped me to make at Wigan Woodturners Club last night


More like the actual colour in this shot


More Tungoil/Thinners tomorrow then finish off with Briwax

Very nice, Cordy.

It won't let me see the pics! Just got little squares with crosses in, How frustrating! Am I doing something wrong?

Hi cordyline heres a Lamp table i made for my brother a number of years ago, top is Brazilian mahogany mdf,with moulded lippings, all the rest is Brazilian mahogany.
I made a full size template, out of hardboard for the legs a profile shape of half the leg, as to get all the legs the same on the lathe, all the rails are mortised and tenioned by hand.
Then clear varnished.

just sorting photos out

Asked my brother to send me the photos,as i didnt have any on my laptop, thought it might be of interest to you,and give you some ideas.cheers dave

Like your table ,looks a sturdy solid job,grain always looks good when you cut curves,like on your table feet,nice choice of colour too well done

First class workmanship there Dave
A gradely job !

Thanks ,it still looks good after all this time,

This was an strange one someone ask me to a make casket for ashes,so i looked online to get a few ideas and was surprised how much these things cost.
So i had some yellow pine in my workshop, the casket wasnt going in the ground ,it was going one of those concrete boxes with a fixed top.I made the lid a tight fit to be glued on after ashes were put in.
My boss always said ,"if it can be made of wood we can make it"
Think he was right


made in 2013

They have appeared now. Very impressive! Well done! x.

Practicing wood-turning
Small Beech goblet



Small plate is Poplar


This fruit-bowl is a failure so far;
jumped off the lathe while turning
A lump was knocked out on impact with the concrete floor
It's about 7 inch diameter by 4 inches high

Might try to fix it on Monday

Result.... sort of

looks good enough to eat your dinner off...

They all look beautiful..you're very talented Cordyline.

Cordy.... if you ever have too many I would gladly relieve you of them..... beautiful.
