Seven Sided Table

This table I made back in my homeland before coming here to Canada in 2006. The seven triangles that make the top were jigsawed separately before gluing them together. There is a total of 161 holes, 23 on each of the seven slices. It is made of a tree called "Saman". Samanea saman, in english is Rain Tree, also called Monkey pod in Hawaii.
The legs I made by cutting out a half a circle out of a 1 inch plank and reinforced it at the top and the bottom by attaching another inch wide piece on either side. The seven legs are connected to two central stars.

Trinity

Compound curves form the top and sides of this piece. The wood is a red cedar Burl which was veneered at the shop and cut into pieces to form the parquetry pattern. There are twenty four pieces on the top and ten on each side. The trapped carved piece on the top is made of Pear, and the stand and trims are Mahogany.
