Yesterday I've cut out the curtains. I decided not to cut the tennons but to try and carve away as much as I can, before I'd do that. The side curtains have the same design as the front (partially) so I'm working on all sides simultaneously. I'm having detailed photographs of the original table at hand to help and guide me.
Have a great weekend, and enjoy this special Sunday,
Bonne continuation!

Another wonderfull project! Great to see how the construction is made.
ReplyDeleteThe table will be gorgeous when finished I'm sure, you've got "magic hands"!
Bueno!!! Eso ya está tomando forma.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind reactions. It's a rather odd thing to make and I'm not sure if my approach could find the approval of a carpenter? ;) The construction is 'simple' but it's fiddly to match to carving of the curves. And the wood is turning out rather disappointing, i'm sad to say :( It's a new piece of stock and was kept in the same condition as previous pear. But it feels dry and brittle... so it acquires a bit more delicacy. Still, fruitful weekend, hope yours was that way too!
ReplyDeleteDebora... It is going to be fantastic! You have gotten a lot done already.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't have too much trouble with the wood. I can't imagine doing something so difficult and having to fight with the materials or tools you are using. I look forward to seeing your progress.
J'aimerai pouvoir en faire autant!! superbe!!

Prachtig!!!!! Blijf het enorm kunstig vinden en ook geweldig om de vorderingen te zien.
ReplyDeleteWat ben je al een end gevorderd!
ReplyDeleteLeuk om zo van dichtbij te zien ontstaan.
Jammer dat het hout niet zo lekker werkt als de vorige keer; zijn daar geen truukjes voor? licht bevochtigen of zo (maar dan gaat het natuurlijk weer werken...)
Nu ik de close-up foto zie besef ik ineens dat er natuurlijk ook een enorme partij schuurwerk aan te pas komt om alles zo mooi glad te krijgen...
Benieuwd naar de volgende update maar neem je tijd... :)
Groetjes,
Gee
