Next Guild Meeting: Friday - June 18, 2010

Topic: Steve Lockhart’s Inlay Table

Guild President Steve Lockhart will present methods used to design and construct an 8 foot diameter dining table

Design:

• The process used to work with the customer to arrive at the final design of the inlay pattern.

• How to build a structure which would maintain a flat surface and meet needs of the construction process.

• How to obtain desired pattern: Should you use veneer, inlay, or solid construction.

Construction:

• Adhesives: Unique adhesives used for bonding the inlays to the surface and bonding the layers of the torsion box.

• Precision of patterns: master patterns were created to allow cutting of the segments of the inlays on a router table.

• Finish: Use of epoxy to fill the open grain of oak for uniformity with close grain of cherry and walnut.
