Pembroke Table

This is the project I was working on to finish out the school year.

I started by cutting the finger joints for the fly rails.  This is the part that you can pull out to holdup the leaf.

Dry fitting the legs all the joints.

Adding decorative stringing to the legs.

A look at the full length of the stringing.

Prepping the banding.  It was especially difficult because I decided to run the grain perpendicular to the leg since I was using curly maple and wanted the figure to be parallel to the leg.  This meant I had to cut little 45 degree miters on all the pieces and then fit them together perfectly.

One finished banding and two taped up and drying.

Finished stringing and banding on the bottom of a leg. 

Finished stringing and banding on the tops of the legs.

All the decoration done on the legs.

Had kind of a disaster gluing up the drawer, but managed to get a ridiculous number of clamps on it.

And it came out perfectly square!

Finished drawer and the pieces for the top.  That is a 24" ruler on the top for reference.

First rule joint finished.
