Hello again! Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and responses to “Mr. Knapps’ Gun Cabinet” that I posted earlier. The response was so encouraging, I thought I’d post another favorite of mine.
This was a table I was commisioned to build for a friend (hello “e”) for her kitchen. It has a painted poplar base with a somewhat involved red oak top. Project payment included the best apple pie I’ve had yet made on the newly completed table.
How could anyone ever turn down apple pie?!

Another really nice project. The grain on the top is spectacular and the rift quartersawn for the frame is just right. You do nice work. Welcome to lumberjocks!!

I can’t imagine anyone giving up a homemade Apple Pie for a table! Are they nuts? Just kidding – great table, your work is outstanding.

Where can I get a table like that for apple pie. I’ll deliver you a dozen pies for one of those. (I’ll have my wife make the pies ;^D).
That is a nice table!

My wife makes the best apple pie in the world! Only trouble is; she only makes them for other people. She claims that if I eat pie it just goes to WAIST. That is a really neat table top. Keep ‘em comin’.

That tabletop is really gorgeous, Kevin. How are the panels constructed? Did you do the veneering yourself?

Thanks Charlie. I confess…I did not veneer it myself. I did however pay a premium for the sheet material! The panels and frames are all spline joinery.

I really like the proportions and overall design. The taper of the legs and the arched apron create a nice visual lift keeping the appearance light, and painted in white it creates a very crisp look. The opposing angles on the panels outlined by the frame is pleasing, as are the warm tones against the white base.
