Wine Tables

Completed this morning; a pair of wine tables in Elm with solid burr Elm tops:

Constructed using dominos and finished with six coats of Peacock Oil which was left for a week in a very warm workshop to cure, then finished with a good application of Alfie Shine, again left for three days to harden off before final polishing. The tops were finished with six or seven coats of Polivine Acrylic Wax, cut back between each coat with 2000g silicon carbide paper, then finally burnished with 3 micron polishing film from Workshop Heaven - Rob

Ok, now I know what wine tables are. Was embarrassed to ask :-)

O K I confess I rather like wine tables, there is something pretty about all versions.
These three are in european oak with two having American black walnut columns.

Gorgeous Rob. How many other projects can you squeeze into one photo. :)
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Beautiful job Rob. Do you have an inexhaustible supply of burr? Those are 2 very special pieces.

Thanks chaps.

I had one very good 30mm board which I'd had for several years in the 'shop so it was bone dry; I don't think it's going to move any time soon. Part of it had been converted into veneers for a cabinet and there was just enough left to get out a couple of table tops. Even so, from the scrag end of what was left I managed to find enough for a 180mm dia platter which is now under the lathe as a future turning project.

Useful to show the tables in context there Andy. The bookcase earlier on yesterday had the glass doors fitted (very little change from £150 :shock:) which you might be able to see and the small elm cabinet on a stand was made around ten years ago - Rob
