Above are two photos of the table that my nephew Dustan Barber (Guild member) and I recently completed . The basic table is 5'-0" in diameter with a 2'-0" lazy susan in the center, veneered with an umbaya burl (African walnut) provided by Don Clarke with lamination assisted by Aubrey Rogers. The primary wood is North Carolina black walnut. The primary top is divided into eight sections made with CNC patterns to maintain accuracy. The aprons on the primary table extend to support eight leaves which mate with the outer edge of the smaller table. Over-center clamps hold them together. The resulting top is 7'-0" in diameter able to seat 12 people comfortably. Dustan and I want to additionally thank Bobby Hartness for his engineering and sanding assistance and Ron Critser who helped in the final finishing stages. The finish is post-catalyzed lacquer, flattened, then mahogany pigmented bee's wax. This will be moved to Dustan's new house soon.

This wood sculpture, created by the students in Mrs. Stribling’s K4 (4 year old)
kindergarten class at Greenville’s First Presbyterian Church, was presented
to Fred Ray for donating scraps of wood to the class so each student could
do a sculpture. Much of the scrap actually came from the trash bins at the
Education Center. So the sculpture and the thank you note are to be
shared by the entire Guild membership
