Leaves Hall Table
Tasmanian blackwood

Joinery
The base supports are laminations made from seven shaped strips of pine glued together and shaped. After sanding I applied figured blackwood to the faces.
To make the solid edgings I made a jig and routered 10mm blackwood strips that were sawn with a 2mm allowance on either side. After the strips were glued this was trimmed with a flush trimmer router bit. There are two curved supports and these were joined with a piece of solid blackwood. The top is made from bookmatched solid blackwood.

Glues
PVA for the veneers, Techno glue and urea formaldehyde for the joinery.

Finishes
Two coats of sanding sealer, top coats of gloss lacquer (I don’t know how many). After that I used cutting compound and after that car glaze (not with carnauba base).
