I will be exhibiting in Cheltenham again this year, from the 18th - 27th August along with some of the finest furniture designer-makers in the UK.http://celebrationofcraftsmanship.com/
In anticipation of the exhibition I am currently working on some new pieces. The first of which is a circular dining table. It involves a lot of work early on as the table is made up of 16 steam bent pieces that spring from the base and arch up to support the tabletop. The base is also a 16 sided shape (hexadecagon?) ,which after cutting all the sides on the shooting board I will be shaping to give a fluid transition into the steam bent struts. Possibly doesn't make much sense at the moment but I will post more pictures as it progresses.
Cutting compound angle end grain joints on the shooting board.
Almost there! Just a few more passes on each piece to close the circle.
The steam bent supports held in the drying jig.
