Created as a focal piece
for admiration and conversation, this practical handmade
Games Table has been created from no less than than
16 different timbers.
The top has been inlaid
for chess and backgammon, the chess board is created
from Satinwood and Rosewood framed in stringing of Boxwood
and Ebony, and banded in striking green and red dyed
Lime.The backgammon board is inlaid in Macassa Ebony,
Satinwood, Burr Walnut and Mahogany, strung in Ebony
and Boxwood and banded in dyed Lime.
The reverse of this centre
section has a blind tooled leather writing surface banded
in Tiger Brown Oak, the table top is decorated with
oysters of Laburnum cut directly from the log into quarter
inch slices; each piece is then book-matched to another
and laid in pairs in the traditional manner. The oysters
are banded with Tiger Brown Oak, and the edge of the
top is chamfered and moulded also in Brown Oak.
The hand-made top is supported by eight turned Beechwood
and ebonised balls which in turn are fitted to a pair
of boxed drawers, the body of each drawer has an inlaid
panel of matching red and green dyed Lime framed in
a Satinwood, Boxwood and Ebony stringing and cross-banded
in Walnut.
The internal sides of the kneehole are proportionally
matched to the top, its internal sides are decorated
with a panel of quilted Maple strung in Kingswood, Boxwood
and Ebony, and cross-banded in Walnut. The drawer itself
is created from solid quarter-cut oak with the drawer
front being Mahogany and decorated with a pair of Olivewood
oysters, strung in Tulipwood, Ebony and Boxwood and
cross-banded in quilted Maple.
Each hand-made drawer
is dovetailed with a traditional centre dovetail flanked
by out splayed dovetails. The drawer front is fitted
with polished chrome and leather handles. The opposite
side of the table is fitted with faux drawers equally
decorated.
The whole piece is supported
by Mahogany turned and ebonised legs terminating in
delicate turned ball feet. The piece once completed
had all of the individual timbers skimmed in with pale
shellac and traditionally French polished with lemon
shellac burnished with an oil and beeswax composition
creating a subtle depth of sheen.
