During the cold winter months Katelyn Signal would often turn up at 6.30am to work on her major project. The combination of Tasmanian Myrtle and Rock Maple timbers has given this coffee table a unique and interesting appeal to timber furniture lovers.
She combined two highly technical timber joints, half lapped mitre and a spline mitre, to create her top piece, and all by using a hand chisel and mallet. A curved front drawer face with a dovetail inlay really makes this coffee table stand out among the pigeons.
To finish her Year 12 major project design off, she used Rock Maple off-cuts to finish off each border around her table, giving a contrast of the two timbers throughout the project. Katelyn applied a Scandinavian oil finish to bring the timber to life in the final stages of the build. A big congratulations to Katelyn and her hard work ethic that pushed her through to the end.
