Hey Folks,
I'm furthering my woodworking journey with some attempts at marquetry. This is a small table I designed I call the rotor table (the shape is that of the rotor in the Wankel rotory engine). This was also my 1st attempt at the "natural" carved edge. This little beast was a little more complicated than I expected as the aprons are laminated and the tenon is cut at a compound angle to fit the legs. The legs themselves are tapered into a diamond pattern (that was interesting). The top is baltic birch with solid 1 1/2" European beech glued and doweled to the ply (so I could carve them) Then I applied Euro Beech veneer to the top and bottom after cutting in the leaf design. The finish is Target Coatings lacquer.
