I wanted to try my hands on turning. This project was a result of that. The eight legs on these tables are the only eight pieces of wood I have ever mounted on a lathe. I also used the opportunity to try reeding using scratch stock, shopmade inlay banding and cock beading on the drawers.

The table is made of mahogany and the drawer front is flame birch with ebony cock beads and flame birch and ebony inlay banding. I used the traditional french polishing recipe of Sean Clarke - my first attempt with french polishing.
