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 two part epoxy resin glue was used for strength to maintain the shape. A combination of dovetail and bridle joints was incorporated to secure the tapered legs to the rim. The top was biscuit jointed to achieve the required width and a design for the rear pediment was chosen. I personalised my table by carving curved grooves into the edge of the top and pediment with a V-tool. The finish I chose was four coats of raw linseed oil, rubbed in with a cloth by hand. I then gave a final finish of O’Cedar oil.
