Made entirely from American white Oak with the 6mm thick Louis cube inlays being laid onto an 18mm thick ply core, the underside on the top is treated in exactly the same way to maintain balance. The table stem (pillar) was turned on the lathe and the barley twist section was marked out and cut by hand. The three legs were marked out from a previously produced pattern, cut out on the band saw and shaped/finished by hand. The legs are attached to the stem with tapered dovetails each of these being marked out and cut by hand. The table top is attached to the stem with a birdcage section that allows it to rotate and stand vertically allowing it to stand flat against a wall to save space when in storage. The edging to the top is raised above the top surface to prevent items being pushed of the table, this edging was applied to the table and then finished by hand to give a thumb mould to the edge. Final finishing was achieved working down through the abrasive paper grades to 320 grit and 2 coats cellulose sander sealer, 3 coats melamine lacquer were applied each coat cut down with 400 grit paper before the next was applied. the final finish was an application of a clear soft wax applied with a very fine webbox and buffed to finish with soft brushes and cloths.
