Here is my latest project, a foray into bent lamination of my design. This table is comprised of four intersecting arches, each is 14 layers of maple, with two central tapering layers of cherry. Adhesive is epoxy. There are no right angles anywhere, so I needed engineer's vellum paper to keep straight the curves, tapers, angles, and splays. The legs include cherry sock feet which I have included in several of my projects. The top floats with minimal visible support. So far, it remains flat. I was willing to push the envelope on this point because it was important to avoid any visual distractions from this table's clean arches. The top is a bookmatch, with muted grain by choice. I did not want to have the grain draw attention from the legs, but some faint curl and small knots serve as a reminder of the table's symmetry and organic origin. The finish is oil-based polyurethane, with careful paring of nibs and sanding after each coat. The final step was rubbing with 0000 steel wool, giving a semi-gloss patina and a silky hand.
