I built this table from solid mahogany in a federal style. The finish is a water based dye, grain filler and hand rubbed water based varnish. The table top sits on four turned columns which are joined to downswept legs with double mortise and tenon joints. The apron is a bent wood lamination. The table is 72 inches in diameter and seats eight. The chairs are not yet finished.

I love Federal style furniture and you certainly do it great justice. Thanks for sharing your work with us. If your art is anything like your woodwork artistry then you will certainly be leaving behind two great legacies on your departure this life. (footnote: I use to fish all the time, that was my hobby, pastime, etc. I started woodworking, desiring to build furniture nice enough to give to my loved ones ..... I woke up and decided that fishing stories aren't much in the way of something to leave as a legacy even though, at this point, I was a far better fisherman than I, unfortunately, will ever become given the limited amount of time I have left here on this earth.)
