Round Oak Pedestal Table
A 110 cm dining table on a coopered, tapered drum base — the build that taught me to love glue-ups.
The base is twelve staves cut at 15° and glued into a drum, then shaped into a gentle taper with a hand plane and a lot of patience. The top is five boards of quartersawn oak, edge-jointed and cut round on the band saw with a trammel jig.
What I’d do differently
Sharpen more often, measure twice, and leave the finish until the next morning instead of rushing it at midnight.
