Description
Finally finished! This table is carved from cherry wood and took about a year and a half.This piece was created in three major sections. The base is four layers of two inch thick stock laying down laminated together. The top is made in the same way with two layers. The center is four layers laminated together but standing up instead of laying down. The center was then mortise and tenoned into the base and top. Once I had that form built up I stated the initial shaping with a mini chainsaw and then proceeded to the detail carving with die grinders. It was then sanded and finished with a clear polyurethane.

Hello, I remember when you first posted the picture of this! Do you still have it? I've always wondered if you would ever sell it, but was reluctant to ask, as one can see that it has so much talent and time put into it.Β
Please let me know if you still have it and are willing to sell it. This is so elegant and beautiful, you did a masterful job!
Best,Β

Incredible woodworking, very impressive! I like the way the grain of the wood adds to the sense of movement in the rippling "skirt." While the detail carving is beautiful enough for the the piece to be treated solely as a work of art, it is also placed in a way that would not interfere with its functionality as a table.

How beautiful! The time taken to make it was definitely worth it! The wood really moves, and the grain really gives the flare at the bottom visual interest. I don't know a lot about woodworking, but I think it must be satisfying seeing all the little patterns that really give the wood character coming together. Really cool piece!

Wow. I would love to own (or be able to create) that. It really looks like it is twirling.
Could I invite you to join the forum in my signature? We'd be honoured to have someone as talented as you showing off your work and talking with us.

As a custom cabinet/furniture finisher, I don't know if I would be jumping at the chance to do finish work on a piece like this or if I would run the other direction. It's an absolutely beautiful piece, truly a work of art and I applaud your skills. I've seen some wonderful custom work before and I've contributed to Street of Dreams homes in the Pacific N.W. but I have never seen anything quite like this.

I have done some woodworking myself, and I can imagine how difficult this would be to make. It's truly amazing that you were able to make such realistic looking folds. Overall, an outstanding piece!
