TV Table For AZ House

Started this TV table project end of March 2022 finished mid-April.
Woods consist of Walnut, Cherry, Maple and Maple Plywood as the lumber stores in Tucson did not have Cherry plywood in stock. I wanted to match the other table I built for my wife in 2021, so chose those woods and aprons with arched bottoms cut on a bandsaw and final shaped with a MDF template and a dual bearing router bit.

I learned the hard way that 1/2" shank router bits are the way to go when doing the maple inlay in the table top.  I bought a new Freud 1/4" shank and final cutting diameter bit to do the inlay initially.  It chattered during the cut and the slot was irregular.  Fixed that by buying a second bit a 3/8" cut diameter up spiral with 1/2" shank also a Freud.  It worked beautifully.  

I used the 45 degree sled to cut the miters of the frame around the table top edges.

A nice looking table, the curves on the apron and the inlay along the top.

love it dave, nice design and wood choice.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Not trying to be disrespectful gdaveg, but that is a much better way to display contrasting timber than cutting boards.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
