Popular Post kmmcrafts Posted January 31 Popular Post Report Posted January 31 Thanks to @Denny Knappen for helping locate a pattern I finally made one.. then something bad or good happen depending on how you look at things.. lets just say.. I showed my wife and then she said... Hey, I have a great idea for this.. Any husband knows they're in trouble after those words come out.. SO... my daughter is going to be getting married pretty soon and they're in the wedding planning stage... I maybe should have waited a couple years to make this or at least show it to anyone, LOL... Little did I know that they was looking for ideas for table centerpieces for the reception.. now you know what I get to make a lot of now.. my reason for saying good or bad idea to show them... I made a few so far but really only sanded and dipped one in danish oil.. I so far made two out of spalted maple and one from cherry and one from walnut.. they cut really quite fast and easy to make which is good.. most of the other wedding things I make are pretty complex and take at least an hour or more and this can be cut in maybe 15 - 20 minutes.. I haven't tried stack cutting but that is also an option. As shown in the photo I've been playing around with mixing up the wood species to give off some contrast etc.. Probably going to have to make about 20? no idea yet as I have no clue how many tables will be needed.. she's just doing a smaller wedding maybe 150 - 200 people.. I don't know if Denny glues his together or not? I haven't done so and am hoping to not glue them as once we're done I may put them online to sell with the option to laser engrave the names etc. onto them... otherwise what are we going to do with 20+ of these.. another option maybe we could give one away to whomever is at said table as a competition or something.. no idea yet but selling with laser engrave option is something I had in mind once done with them. One nice thing about not gluing them is they breakdown quite easy and take up very little space.. plus can mix and match however you like with the wood species..

rjweb Posted January 31 Report Posted January 31 Very nice, I was looking for my pattern but must have been filed in trash by mistake, you know at weddings they give the center pieces away, RJ kmmcrafts 1 Quote
Barry5180 Posted February 1 Report Posted February 1 (edited) Those are awesome. I love the different wood idea. Is this pattern on this site? Edited February 1 by Barry5180 kmmcrafts 1 Quote
Denny Knappen Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 @kmmcraftsif the fit is tight, I do not glue. The last on I made was a little loose, so I glued it. barb.j.enders and kmmcrafts 1 1 Quote

Lovely work. I like the mixes of wood. kmmcrafts 1 Quote
