Walnut hall table
Woodworker:
Nicholas G. Brygidyr
Montreal, Que., Canada
Brygidyr’s hall table is a symphony of curves. “The sides and back are poplar, hand planed to the curve, then veneered over with shopsawn walnut veneer. The drawer fronts, which took the longest-about a month for practice and a month for the real things-have dovetails cut on a curve. I spent many hours shaping the legs with a spokeshave, stopping to feel the facets disappear after every few passes.”

Very nicely executed Nicholas.
A beautiful table. Design, materials and execution are all spot on.
Well done!
A wonderful looking table! Is the curve on the drawer fronts very slightly less than the curve in the upper part of the legs?
Are the sides and back curved similar to the drawer fronts?
Thanks for the praises! As for what's curved, everything. Sides, back, inside of the drawer fronts, dovetail base lines, everything!
I saw this piece in my issue of Finewoodworking. Very nicely done!
