Figured Out, a side table made of curly birch and rosewood. This one is from a few years ago but still a favorite of all the pieces I've built.
Curly Maple...Wow.
The morning sun on the table top. The angle of the light makes the curl in the maple just explode. That is raw maple, no finish. Just hand planed.
Curly Maple and Rosewood, a Handsome Couple
The rosewood edging has been attached and cleaned up with a block plane and scrapers. The combination of rosewood and curly maple is really sharp.
East Indian Rosewood
I'm working on the rosewood edging for the table top. It's about 1/8" square in cross section. Working it with a block plane is an enjoyable challenge.
