The making off.. 'double helix table'

Hey art & woodworking lovers,

A few days back I promised to show you guys the proces of making my double helix table. Well, I think I let you guys wait long enough.. (I'm not much of a talker so here follow some photo's with a little explanation)

It al started with a tiny test piece, I turned a small block round and started by making saw cuts under an angle so the sawline spirals along the wood. Then, in tiny steps I cut along the sawline with my chisel, until I reached the core. After that a lot of strips of sandpaper did a lot of magic ;) :





The tiny spiral took me about 1 long day working (no 9 to 5 mentality, right ;) ).. I figured if this took me 1 day, a full scale would take me 3 max 4.. Well.. I found out about that one! Check out the real thing:


Now I started to figure: HOLY SNOWBALL, THIS THING IS HUGE!

Oh yeah, pretty Important to know: I hollowed out the wood earlier, so I would get to the core way faster!


From now on it was a no brainer, listen to some jazz and enjoying the wood.. I love my work!!


It's starting to look like something.. (beware, the individual spirals are far from rounded, they're more like hollow round)

Time goes by... so slowly..
Well, and after some finishing finishing it turned out like this:

Please, If you like my work, leave a message, it helps support my creativity and to be honest, I love to hear your opinions, maybe you have advise or maybe some questions. I would love to talk to you about working wood!

Thanks for your time and appreciation!
