table

This semester, I am lucky to be taking a furniture-making class-- my project is a table by the modernist Dutch designer Gerritt Reitveld. The pieces are mostly cut, now there is a lot of sanding, staining, drilling, and assembling.

Here is one version of the "Military Table"-- I am making some slight adaptations, but it will be similar:



It has been a relaxing and satisfying process so far, as I have been guided and assisted by very knowledgeable and talented teachers. It was amazing to watch the wood transform from a rough cut board to the sanded, square cut pieces of my table (yes, I should have taken more photos!)
