Gents! It's been a while since I posted here. I did a side table a while ago and wanted to share it. I had some 4/4 Sapele laying around and thought it could make a cool table. I had seen some parson tables that I really liked and used the general design. I had to get creative on the legs. I took the lazy approach and laminated a few layers. I figured there was enough movement in the grain, combined with dye you wouldn't really be able to see.
This is the first project where I used my Festool Domino. I have to say, I love the thing. I should have practiced a bit more because I screwed up my math on one of the legs and got the wrong depth. Luckily this is just for me and completely invisible :D . The only metal used is a few screws to attach the top.
I also used Arm-r-seal water based for the first time. I love how quickly it cures. Yes the finish is not a natural oil look but now a year later it looks absolutely perfect despite heavy use and a 7 & 5 year old.
