Hey Guys,

Nothing like some kicka$$ stock to get me really into this crazy leg table!.... Ya, so I got my veneers today and also splurged for an absolutely killer piece of curly maple....

I'm trying to catch up, hopefully it will look like a table by the end of the weekend.

Great work on all of your tables guys, I apologize for not posting very much.... I'm rockin' right along now so hopefully there will be more to follow.

Have a Great Weekend T-Chiz fans... thanks for looking

Dave

That curly looks great. Did you end up getting it from exotic woods?

Rob

hey Rob,

I got the maple from them in Burlington. It's one of the pieces they have that's been roasted.... I figured, hey why not?.... when I bought the 8/4 piece of walnut I needed for the legs I saw someone buying a few pieces of this maple, but it had been finish sanded at the shop.... it looked killer. The satinwood veneer is kinda cool as well, I got the 2 thicknesses of holly and some black stuff too.

Maybe I'll drop you an e-mail, Tommy was telling me that he thinks you aren't very far away from me.

I wonder if the board will look as nice as Eli's table - it had some crazy figure to it.... good job Eli

take it easy

Dave

Ya, exotic woods is great, they have lots of material. I found another sweet place in Cambridge last weekend call A&M Wood, you should check it out for sure. They have a pretty huge selection of veneer and their SA mahogany looked darker.

I live in Milton, so you may be close by.

cool Rob,

Never been to A&M, but I've been meaning to stop in, the contractor I work for is based out of Cambridge, so I'm always in the area.... I've heard they have lots of piles of veneer.... layers of consecutive cuts, all bookmatchable ( is that a word?)

I live between Paris and Woodstock out in the boonies...

the guys at Exotic Woods are really nice and helpful, I like spending money there.... as far as other normal lumber, I usually go to Townsend Lumber near Tillsonburg, or to a private guy in that area - he has good prices

later

Now you've been working out......go easy....use the table saw when cutting to length not cracking 8/4 over your knee, you might get a wobble in the table.

YEAH....you can use your tremendous pythons as clamps for your drawer front veneering too.....

Dude.... I'm getting so huge I'd just have to look at that veneer and it would stay stuck in place forever... haha
