Piecing the Puzzle



Last week was spent trying to piece together my puzzle of a table. Since some of the wood I bought was bowed and twisted, parts were not usable. What I ended up doing was cutting each piece down to a rough size, in hopes that the bowing and bending would ease up. Some pieces did, and some didn't. I now have a pile of cut pieces that are not straight enough to use, since I don't want to lose any more thickness. They were bought at 3/4". So, with the remaining usable pieces, I have to put them together in a seamless way....





Getting closer.....I layed it out with the top in the middle and the four sides surrounding. The goal was to find strips long enough to wrap 3 sides - the top and 2 sides next to it. The finished piece will show the end grain of the side panels as a frame around the top panel.








Think I got it.
