WOODWORKER OF THE MONTH
​Chris Nye

Here's a coffee table I finished a bit ago.  The challenge on this was
to get the three-pronged piece of willow incorporated in the
butcher-block top.  I made MDF patterns of the willow as well as the
negative spaces between and around the willow branches, then used the
negative-space patterns to fair the pieces of the red alder butcher
block .... which went together with the willow to make up the top.  I've
wondered for the past few years if I could actually do this....and I'm
really pleased that the joins between willow and alder are perfect for
about 95% of the total length...the really tight places where the
branches come together are less than perfect.  I lucked out that the
"diamond" parts of this piece of willow were all on one side, which
became the bottom surface of the top.  I also lucked out even the piece
of willow to begin with....three branches all in a plane is rare in my
experience....and I watch for them now.

The frame around the butcher block top, as well as the legs, aprons,
stretchers, etc. are all cherry.  Joinery is all wedged
through-tenons...22 of them I believe.

Willow is NOT good furniture wood...it's so soft, yet stringy, that any
edge tool tears it up.  So there was a lot of sanding, and some very
delicate work with a very sharp card scraper.
