Birch Plywood - Occasional Tables

These are the newest tables in the IDM collection.  They are constructed from reclaimed Birch Plywood.  I did get them in full sheets but were trash to the seller because they were very warped and twisted.  I didn't care because I was cutting them up anyway.

Everything is all glued up and ready to start.

One of the toughest parts of this build was cutting this miter, the slab is 3" thick. 

As you probably noticed above, I inserted a spline in the miter joint to hide the connection.

Below is the jig that I cam up with to keep the grove in the same location on all slabs.  This is a must to have the joint come together perfect.

With all the corners rounded over, it's time for finishing.

Tables at the show!

Thank you Patrick for letting me borrow your sofa.

These are ready for order!! Any size, any finish.

Perfect for that Earthy Modern feel in any space!

Reclaimed Walnut block side table

Here is a table I made for The Bottom Line Show.

It is an all reclaimed, solid Walnut side table on a refinished base found at a local junk store.

This is where the table started... the trash box.

The base... needs a little TLC.

After the 'off-fall' boards are cut in to cubes they need to be sanded, all 286 of them...

My first look at everything together.

OK, so... gluing 286 blocks together, fast enough that the first ones are not dry before I got the clamps on was a little tricky.

Much, Much, Much sanding.

I played with a few edge shapes but in the end I just hand sanded a nice big round over.

The base after polishing and painting the underside.

Also I used some more of the scrap Walnut and turned 'suction cup' feet.

They have threaded inserts which make them adjustable.

Sanded to 1000 grit.

Final product.
