Description
This is a table I did for my final project in 1st year furniture at Sheridan College. The idea behind it is taking a traditional looking table (shaker style) and litterally cutting it in half and pulling it apart exposing all the guts inside. The table part is made of red oak and the inner parts are made of padauk which i carved out with a chainsaw arbour on an angle grinder. It's finished with just a tung oil.Related content

That has got to be one of the most innovative pieces I've ever seen done with a basic wood item.
Wow.

Disturbing and wonderful all at once. This little monster would be more than welcome in my parlor. The texture you achieved on the 'guts' is fantastic and makes me desperately want to touch it.

Haha, little monster, thats a good name for it. It would be honoured to sit in your parlor.... except this one already has a home. Once I can get my own studio this is definately on my to-do list to make some more. Glad you picked up on the grusome vibe I was going for! lol

Love the charnel feel. I'd love to see it if you create a series of these guys.

This is amazing, but how did you connect the two different kinds of wood like that? glue or nails? (I forget the other methods of doing such a thing 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's all just glue. Tongue and groove joints to be exact. It's actually a lot simpler than it looks, all the carving gives the impression that it's really complicated. ...just don't tell anyone. lol Thanks!
...sorry it took so long to get back to you

Very impressive and a wicked cool design!! I'm also impressed you're attending Sheridan! Kudos!

lol thank you!! do you go there too?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, sadly. One of my cousins does, and a friend I went to high school with did as well!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ahh, cool. It's a good school if you end up there, I recomend it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll never end up there, lol. I gave up on the idealist conception that art would land me a good career and found a more secure one in teaching history, which is what I've been studying for the past 2 years at UofW!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Right on. Yeah art isn't exactly the most financially secure career

Unless you do have great talent! But talent in art is so subjective....it makes my head hurt.

This. . .freaks me out on a very deep level, but I can't stop looking at it. The detail in the, um, stretchy-guts is fascinating. I can scarcely imagine the process that must have gone into this. It's a very clean, clear piece of work. I love your twisty candleholders, as well.

And I appologize for freaking you out

Thank you very much! I like to make stuff that people probly wouldn't buy, but stands out from anything around it. Glad you like it/them!!!

haha well I don't know if I'd go as far as to say "genius"...I am a fucking something, but that is yet to be determined. Thank you very much

looks a bit... gross, but it's really unusual and i'd really like to have something like that in my room

Haha Awesome! I totally stared at this in the gallery at Sheridan!! I love it.

It's a great wood to work with, and it's dust has a nice smell too. Thanks!

Full view: The stretched part is quite amazing. Appears to be a live, slightly drooping organsim. Looks incredible difficult.
