Weber Lloyd Cocktail Table

[Dave R]

This was a quickie for practice the other day. Not really woodworking so much but I figured I'd share.

It's based on a table from the 1930s but I updated the top with a laminate from the 50s.

Cool!
Did you consider making the top in something like black onyx, with a vase or bowl on the top? That might give you some interesting opportunities for reflections in the render.

Thank you David.

I hadn't thought of the black onyx but I did think of adding this little clock I drew awhile back. I should play with the top material, though.

The clock is a few years old than the table.

What do you think? black Bakelite?

Or ivory Bakelite?

[davidheim1]

Ivory for sure. Great contrast with the tabletop.

Great model . It would look pretty cool if built with bent wood strips also....

Dave, looks good as always!

[Dave R]

Thanks Dave.

I've been playing with the clock on the table. Decided I like the black clock better than the ivory colored one so I changed the top on the table. I've also been playing with a KT version but I'm not totally happy with it yet.
