Stacks of Honduras Mahogany boards waiting to be run through the planer.

After thickness planing, all stock is jointed to ensure a true edge.

1/8" beading is cut on the legs using a moulding head specially ground for these tables.

After legs are beaded, mortises are cut and chiseled for the stretchers.

Boards with the best figure are selected  and edge glued to make the bases.

After glue-up, the bases are run through a drum sander for final thicknessing.

Construction of the tops begins by cutting the curved pieces on the bandsaw

Pieces are all cut and ready for assembly.

The pieces are then hand fitted, glued and clamped in position.

The pieces are starting to come together and it's time for trial fitting.

Work on the tops continues as the the edges are trimmed to shape.

Veneers are now carefully sawn into sections to make up the diamond matched top.

Individual sections are now taped together to create the final pattern.

The sheet is then very carefully applied to the table top.

And here is the end result, waiting the edge profile to be cut.

After a little touch-up sanding, the tables are ready for the finishing process.
