Mathoms

I made these two veneered panels a couple of years ago, when we were learning about veneering at polytech.

I quite like them, and it seems a shame that they should just be shoved out of the way somewhere, but I can't decide just what to do with them.

They'll probably just sit there, out of the way, until eventually I die. Then it won't be my problem.

Yet another little table

 One of the things we're learning about a 'tech at the moment is veneering. It can be fiddly stuff to work with; the standard commercially available stuff is less than a millimetre thick, and some timbers (hardwoods, especially) tend to split very easily under the knife. It's not generally terrifically difficult though, as long as you take a bit of care and don't try to go too fast.

The timbers in this piece are cedar (I think), rimu, kauri, mahogany, black walnut, rewarewa, and the body of the table is made from pink birch.

And here's the veneer in all its mostly symmetrical glory.
