Furniture that I have made for myself and my friends / PA13371262107_a Nick Fohl 9/12/2002 nfohl --- sixthelement nfohl --- sixthelement

This is the original 'Tina' table that I made for Tina Silvestri. This was made from a plan that I literally drew on the back of a bill. It is made from cherry and maple with tung oil and wax finish. The dimensions came out perfectly - yet another case of where doing what looks right usually works out better than strict measurement. The subsequent tables in the series have slightly different dimensions which I don't think came out quite as nice- but on the plus side they are finished to a higher level of finish. I had great difficulty eyeballing the miter (45 degree angle) joints on this. Without a miter saw, it was extremely difficult to get everything square and lined up and involved a lot of work with a chisel to square things out.

I think the colors of the wood are especially nice
