Basically this table is finished, other than just a few more coats of the oil finish then to rub it out with wax.
The wood for the construction of the table was all provided by one Maple tree that contained varying degrees of figure throughout, the legs were sawn from a single piece for the matching grain where as the skirt boards were from another to give a contrasting grain of some tiger figure and then of course a highly figured floating slab for the top showing levels of quilt and curl was chosen.
Normally I will tend to hide the live edge of the table keeping it to the underside so that the top will have more of a clean look however I chose to do otherwise with this particular slab, this table will also be going to the gallery and hopefully the slab orientation will appeal to the buyer(s).
