The Makings of a Door
While I work on the finish for the maple, ebonized cherry and aluminum side table, I'm building a door. Here are the 3 rails, which are drilled and slotted to allow for expansion and contraction of the 5 boards that make up the exterior of the door. This is a barn-ish style door (hinged, not sliding), but with a little different method of construction. You'll see.

Figured Out - A Table With Attitude
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.
It's Coming Together
Here's a sneak peek at the aluminum beads on the bottom edge of the apron. I'm just fine tuning the fit before final sanding and spraying lacquer on the aluminum. Oh yeah, the cherry table base is now jet black.
