Tables in the glue!

This is what I spent my day off working on. They are a pair of end tables for Lisa. Made of Curly Maple and Cherry. I spent all day chopping mortises and cutting tenons! The one on the left just got glued up. There is still a ton of sanding that needs to go into these and the tops have not been attached, the one the right is just sitting on top to show what the table will look like.

I think that the Cherry will look great against the Maple! You can see a couple of the curls on the maple and there isn't any finish on it yet! The curls are all over the maple! The tables are about 25" tall and will take up about a 11"x14" spot of carpet.

I have put a couple of projects on this blog and haven't shared in any of the in progress pieces. Anyway, you'll see when it is completed sometime this month!

Weather Station

This weather station displays the Barometer, Humidity and Temperature. It is made from curly maple that is 1 1/2" thick. It is pretty hefty and joined together without a nail or screw. You can see the joint I cut from the angle.

I dyed the maple with a light brown stain to give it that old world look. I think Dad will be able to tell the weather with this!
