Ambrosia Maple Tiny Table

[capncarl]

I just finished this Tiny Table made from Ambrosia Maple. This was part of the wood from an earlier sawmill visit. Top dimensions are 10"x18", table height is 25". The finish is Watco Medium Walnut then paste wax. I was suprised that this wood burns fairly easily with the saw blade. It doesn't seem to tear out very bad when abused on the planer, and it sands nicely .
I need to get several more tables from different wood finished to deliver to Apalachicola next month.

A Cherry Tiny Table for the girls in Apalachicola. This top is from the spine slab that looked like an X-Ray of a deformed spine. It is finishe with 50% red oak stain / 50% natural Watco, then paste wax. The bottom has 2" bevel and the top has 1 1/2" bevel. I made the leg assembly skinnier that usual for this size top.

Now back to the shop, I have a slab of Spalted Sycamore that is ready to become a table!

That's a beauty Cap. Love the ambrosia, I've turned a couple bowls from it. Nice finish on your table!

Wow. Just wow. That ambrosia is striking, and I LOVE the top of the cherry table. I am a fan of your tables. Looking forward to shots from the Spalted Sycamore table!

Carl,

Do you use tenon/mortise, pegs or biscuits for those tables? I love them! Do you mind if I make one for LOML? I have three 3 ft logs about 12 to 18 inches in diameter and I think she would love to have one made like that.

Carl, these are great. Keep these posts coming.

The tiny tables are great, Carl. What kind of price do they bring? I assume you are selling them since you make a lot of them.

The legs are connected with floating tennons. I don't think there is enough meat in biscuits, I'm afraid f somebody thought it was a stool they might to end up well. I've started using a Festool Domino machine to cut a 2" mortise in the legs and the aprons and make my own tennon which is 2 times a big as a domino.

Pappy, they sell in a nice art gallery in Apalachicola Fla. It is a nice touristy little town struggling with changing from a fishing and oyster town. It draws a good customer base from some of the nearby high dollar island and beach areas. They sell for $185 to $250 depending on the size, style and wood type. These 2 tables will probably be priced at $225. There is a 60/40 commission so I'm not getting rich but I am enjoying building them and it pays for my tools. I'm also able to use the mileage deduction, wood and supplies to offset any profit.
