I finished this mahogany Federal style card table last week. The cross banding is zebra wood, the stringing is holly and the medalions are from Rockler.http://www.ncwoodworker.net/pp/data/500/medium/100_0964.jpg

REAL NICE.


Newb alert!
So is the whole thing laminate? (I don't know anything about laminating, yet!) or do you inlay the laminated on some wood substrate?

Stunning! I love the Federal style--I think it is probably my favorite period furniture. I just don't have the WW'ing chops (yet) to pull it off.

Are the feet ebony?

Great job! Can you tell us about the finish, and what you did to protect the inlay during the finishing process?

Nice work… are the feet ebony and did you create all the bandings from scratch?

Michael, I applied a stain coat of Minwax Red Mahogany and a couple of coats of thinned amber shelac before any inlay work or glue up. After the inlay work and glue up I finished with 3 coats of poly. The bottom of the legs is just gloss black paint. The banding around the skirt and the medalions are from Rockler. The holly stringing comes from a guy here in NC who makes it (inlaybanding.com). The project is not nearly as difficult as it looks.

You may not think it is that difficult, but I would say I would have some major learning curve on a project like that. Great work.
