Mahogany and Zebrawood Table

[Larry Rose]

This little table was my project to do over Christmas vacation. It's mahogany, zebrawood veneer, ebony inlay on the top with ebony and holly banding on the legs. The finish is Minwax red mahogany oil stain followed by shelac and a dark chestnut gel stain as a toner and toped with poly.

Another piece of art, Larry. You amaze me with each project, and keep me humble.

Wow.

Great job! I love the cuffs and feet on the legs. Are you using a scratch stock for the stringing? Straight lines are easy enough, but the curves add a challenge.

Ed, I'm using stringing from Matt at Inland Banding. I have cut my own but his is so much better and easier. If you're asking about the tool, I used a purfling cutter from Lee Valley and a router for the straight stringing.

The tool is what I was asking about. I am not fimiliar with that tool, infact I had to go to the LV site to see what it is! I assume it has two knife blades to cut the width. How do you extract the waste? I may have to get one of those!

Excellent work Larry. I think you should teach a class on inlays/veneer. :icon_thum

Ed, I use a small L-N router wirh a 3/32" blade and a small chisel. The cutter is handy for an inlay close to the edge and curves.
