The semi-elliptical table was a set class project. I started by drawing a full size set-out using measurements from a given set of plans. The rim was pressed in a caul using three pieces of 6mm structural ply and a 3mm silky oak veneer front. A 2-part epoxy resin glue was used for strength to maintain the shape. A combination of dovetail and bridle joints were incorporated to secure the tapered legs to the rim. The top was biscuit jointed to achieve the required width and each student chose their own design for the rear pediment. The finish I chose was three coats of polish sprayed on and rubbed back in-between each coat.
