VIDEO: Making the Monte Cristo table

Comments Comments

With a vision for a piece that came to him fully resolved, New Zealand maker Joey Chalk set out to make what he now calls his most favourite piece!

With its curvaceous top and legs, Joey’s Monte Cristo desk has undeniable verve and builds on a traditional cabriole leg form. Watch how he shapes and refines the legs and creates curved bent laminated aprons for the top in the video below.

The Monte Cristo table is entered in Maker of the Year awards, see images here.
