Mulberry and Ash TableMy friend Gil Arad, an Israeli woodworker who lives, works and teaches in a small village outside of Jerusalem has recently published a really cool video that depicts the kind of work that he does. More and more woodworkers are commissioning “about my work” videos as a means of promoting their work, but few of them actually show a project from start to finish. Gil (pronounced Geel) has an introduction video that actually does show a project from start to finish, his mulberry and ash table.

In his video, Gil shows how he designed and built a three legged table made from a live edge mulberry trunk crosscut (for the top) and ash for the hoops and the legs. Watch the video, it is fun and only four minutes long. Then, take a look at my drawings in case you need to clarify the design of his unique joints.

    Holy shnikes that was cool! I so wanted to see more of the model.

    I’m also impressed about how much curve the steam bending produced in one go.

    I also want to see a close-up of the scarf joint in the bottom skirt.

    In short, I guess the video did what it was supposed to do. 🙂
