Modern Oak Table

Modern Oak Table - The Calaura

Latest build on the YouTube channel is this Mid Century inspired Dining Table - the table top is white oak & there are no straight lines! The table tapers from the centre with a subtle curve, culminating with a large radius in each corner - the top edge has a 1/4” round-over & bottom side has a 20 degree under bevel.

The legs are black steel, fabricated with an 8 degree splay & installed at a 5 degree tilt, and include oak end caps (or socks!)

The design, a collaboration with my clients, has been called The Calaura

There are many more videos on the channel which is a combination of client furniture builds, concept designs & workshop furniture builds
