Commissioned table base for an existing table top, finished and installed last week. Dismantled, it shows its composition: two sculpted slabs, two tenoned braces, eight wedges.
•
Carving 4” seasoned oak is brutal on the hands! — razor sharp tools are a must. I was amazed at how rigid the structure became once the wedges were hammered in from the sides. The power of a simple sloped bit of wood. This joinery allows it to be packed down if needed.
•
V fun photographing this — each sculpture framing the other through a carved aperture. See a previous post for some of the influences if interested. I’ll share some other more sculptural/detail shots soon, and then I’ll pipe right down about it.

Thanks for taking a peek ﾂ
