This 54" diameter table top has Maple, Birch, Walnut, & Ebony. I cut the parquetry with a scalpel, using the "Window Method" The outside bullnose edge is gluded up with "Five 1/8" layers of solid maple. The radius rings of ebony, were glued up on radius templates, with "Three layers of 3/32" to equal the 1/4" ebony inlays. The center opening is open with a 3/8" thick, beveled glass insert. So that you could see the custom metal table base, of rings of spheres. I clear coated the top with "Three" coats of Magnalac dull precatalyzed lacquer. "My brother Dan, designed the table".

Very beautiful work... Execellant craftsmanship Dennis
Dennis,
Awesome work. Keep at it.
I've Got to learn how to do that! Your work looks crisp and flawless. Must have taken years to perfect.
dennis, your work really inspires me. If I didn't have a daughter to feed, I'd beg to apprentice under you. Until she's old enough to take care of me, I'll have to settle for the inspiration your posts provide, seriously, you really are a true craftsman
So how many hours would you have into making this.......great work.
