Daniel’s Carved End Table

Viewer Project - By Daniel from Windsor, Ontario

Inspired by the sculpted end table video series, I wanted to make something similar with a “floating” top. The legs are bloodwood, which was a challenge to carve, but not so bad with sharp tools. After cutting and flush trimming, a spokeshave and a rasp were used to define the shape. Top is dyed curly maple and attached to the apron center via a 1.25″ brass rod.

  Thank you! To get consistent legs, I used a template and a flush trim bit. Shaped the first leg with a spokeshave and a rasp until I liked the look, and then clamped it in a small portable vise to keep it within my line of sight while shaping the other legs. Best way imo to get consistently shaped legs.
