A Walnut Oval Table
Andrew recently built this table, “Ellipse,” as a commission. The oval top has an 18° chamfered edge and a slim, tapered base. Engineering the design for the coopered base was the most challenging aspect of this project. It’s constructed from 32 individual staves of solid walnut, all cut at their own unique compound angle. He used shellac followed by conversion varnish by General Finishes to bring out the natural luster of the walnut.
