Still thinking about how good Saturday was. Grey all day and then overwhelmed with color. Guys were still getting blown out of tubes till last light. 📷 @thermosetvisuals https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmC6LOBlMy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d1v0551qvurt

I tried to design this conference table with simple shapes. Simple isn’t easy though. At 150”x 60” the base needed sufficient strength. Both of the bases are 7” thick solid White Oak, laminated. I couldn’t even lift one by myself. The jig used to make the curve in the video has a bridge that the router rides in and runs along a track with ball bearings. 📷: @thermosetvisuals (at ViBe Creative District)

Thanks again to @alecyuzh @hanbury_design for trusting me with a couple pieces in their new office!

Some more old Heart Pine. This time resawn and mitered for @hanbury_design

A couple weeks back with @elliotmccallister Now it’s Summer and these are gone 😩

The finished product for @tarnishedtruth in the @thecavaliervb | 17’ W x42” D | The Ash log was around 114 years old

Some more progress shots of this 17’ monster going in the tasting room of @tarnishedtruth at the historic @thecavaliervb All 4 slabs are sequential cuts from the same log. Using @festool new flat connectors to join end to end

Surfed by @robbievallad a couple weeks back. He’s been taking some really good photos lately. Check out his feed 💪🏼

The scarf joint I used to join the laminated front leg component to the solid back. I liked the little ‘s’ curve added, instead of just a straight. This ended up being the most tech part of this chair build for me. Getting those jigs straight, so they would be perfect matches. They’re also indexed with threaded rod and epoxy for extra rigidity.

I had so much fun Saturday! 6 hours in the wetsuit before the wind came up. Frame by: @jeffrey.oneil

These guys got delivered this week. Four very heavy slabs of Ash that will turn into the tasting room table for Tarnished Truth Distillery at the newly renovated, historic Cavalier Hotel. First step is to trim them to length, still a little over size though to allow for corrections later.

It feels good to sit! This is definitely the most difficult thing I have made thus far. Please let me know what you think. Thank you to @timothyrousseau and @thomashuckerstudio for getting me going and guiding me down the more difficult, but more rewarding path in the designing of this chair.
