    Finished pembroke table (with pics)

    I owe a thanks to a lot of people on this forum. I got advice about how to make the inlays and they turned out pretty good. This is the first project in which I used a hand plane. The top was too wide to fit through my 13" planer so I bought my first #4 hand plane and to save money I made a #7 1/2 hand plane. I got a lot of help from this forum on how to flatten and smooth the table top and how to make the plane.

    Thanks again to those who answered all my questions, including, but certainly not limited to:
    Ken Fitzgerald, lou sansone, Mark Stutz, Daniel Fisher, Doug Shepard, Michael Pfau, Dennis Peacock and Alan Turner

    I love history, especially American history between say 1780 and 1830, so I am furnishing my study with pieces inspired by federal style furniture. Here is my pembroke table to go between two reading chairs.

    The main wood is mahogany and the inlays are all walnut. The apron is actually a drawer front. There is a small scoop out of the inside bottom of the apron to pull the drawer open. The finish is 3 coats of BLO followed by 2 coats of wipe on poly.

    I've already finished a small demi-lune table and a writing desk comes next. There are plenty of mistakes on this table, but it is the best job I have done so far and it is definitely my favorite.
