Federal Card Table with Marquetry
Mar 24, 2015
Woodworker: Peter Botten
Botten was inspired to build a Federal card table after seeing Steve Latta’s table on the cover of FWW‘s 30th anniversary issue (#180). Being an Ohio native, he replaced the traditional paterae motifs with carnations and cardinals-his home state’s flower and bird-on the top and on the legs. It’s hard to believe, but this was Botten’s first attempt at veneer and marquetry work.
Materials: mahogany, holly, and white oak; 18D x 36W x 29H

You sir, do some of the most beautiful work I have ever seen. If this is your first attempt at veneer and marquetry, I can't wait to see your next posting. Congratulations on a wonderful work.
Thank you very much

Look at that wood! You must have spent a whole day shining the table top in order for it to reflect like that! Really gorgeous workmanship that I would be happy to put money down for!
