Another members table from wood off my mill

[flip]

If you didn't know better, from a distance it looks like a piece of marble or stone.  Kudos, very beautiful work from the carpenter and sawyer ;)

 I haven`t taken any pictures underneath. But, it`s real simple, the stringers are beveled about an inch in four inches from the end, with a screw in the middle to handle moisture expansion. If that ain`t good enough I can post dimensions, but without a piece of that maple it`s just going to be another table. You`ll have to talk to Daren about that, and I figure the price of curly maple just went up  ;D

  I figure the price of curly maple just went up  ;D

The price of the lumber is pretty steady...I hope the price of fine woodworking goes up . I know now how to make that table  :D.

Great table, and just for the record, It's all in the adjective chosen. There are lots of different ways to decribe that grain , but for me I call that FLAME / TIGER because the axis dances out of "plane". That is to say that it is not just rows of curl (boring, nice but boring) they taper to nothing and then redirect on another direction and then terminate and redirect. Almost like a camp fire flame dances around. FLAME.

            Great stuff, Reid

Welcome to posting on FF fitter ;)

Extremely nice design on that table.  the slab of figured maple floats above the legs in all it's glory.  Wow it is inspirational. 

Now we know where Daren got his eye for ingenuity and creativity.. ;)

Reid, OK that is enough with the fancy descriptions ;) :D 
It is hard enough for me to not think about wood 24x7, now I can't even go fishin or sit by the camp fire, without visions of wood :D :D  (Last night I was in the boat running the trolling motor, and watching the water bubble up and thinking about BLISTER figure :   Next I will see flame maple images in my mind when sitting by the campfire :

Fitter, I seen your table elsehwere and asked daren for picture underneath too. Never did get one. Now you are getting more requests for an underneath shot.

You know you have arrived when instead of getting requests to buy the table itself, you can practically take orders for mere pictures of the thing just from the bottomside. :D

Hey fitter, I was flipping through last month's issue of Fine Woodworking, and I noticed a coffee table in the Reader's Gallery that looked similar to yours.  Is that where you got your inspiration?  I actually liked that one so much that I bookedmarked it, but I had completely forgotten about it.

Yep, I liked it so well, I made one. I kinda had to improvise the dimensions, so I made it to suit me!
