                                     Sideshow Table

The Sideshow Table started from the idea to build a pedestal table
using techniques I've developed to make small tripod tables, to
make it more stable it needed another leg, but four legs is not much fun so I
gave it five, which in turn gave me the name Sideshow, (step in and see the
amazing five legged table) and of course then it needed hooves. The veneer
layout on the top started as a traditional sunburst pattern, nice but would be
more fun and a lot more challenging if I added a bit of a twist. That gave it
have a softer look, like fabric, which inspired the use of upholstery nails as a
detail element. One idea points me to the next one if I'm looking for it.
Cherry and Canary wood solids with quartered cherry and reconstituted veneers.
