Mick,
Which issue? Gary
I have had a look in my back issues I can not find it . If you ask' hall tables' in gallery it is number 4 in the first 25. Hall table in walnut and ash
Hey Mick,
I found that table finally. Sorry for the delay. The curved stretchers are tapered bent laminations. There was just an article on this in FWW #197 by Michael Fortune. Essentially you're taking a number of laminates and cold bending them in a form with glue.
As for the stretcher to leg attachment, one could either glue and pin the end of the stretcher in place, or create a small bird's mouth joint in the leg to let the end of the stretcher into. Good luck. Gary
Hi, Thanks for your comment. I came across this somehow. I know it's about 2 years late but the table was made with bent laminations that are tapered in width and thickness. The glueup required a special jig to be developed. Drop me a line at [email protected] , I'd be happy to discuss.
Cheers,
Wil
