Sipo Dining Table
The design of this table is about as simple as it gets but I think the proportions came out very well. Dimensions: 36" X 84" and 30" high came out to $1500.00 with a local delivery. This was my first experience with Sipo, (Entandrophragma utile), a mahogany look alike and it behaves like a good quality African Mahogany with the quarter sawn parts going very ribbony, other parts had a bit of "pomelle" figure. Here's a shot of the layout for the top, with paint thinner sloshed on it. I used a different method for attaching the cross members by stitching them to the side rails with biscuits. I figure the 5 biscuits, which equal about ¾ inch in combined thickness, ought to do the job and is likely over-kill. Here's the completed table, minus an actual finish, so what you are seeing is merely thinner. No chance to get shots of the finished piece.

Deep Eddy West, formerly Deep Eddy Studios, has been designing and fabricating furniture for individuals, design firms, architects and institutions since 1983. In 1994 Deep Eddy West formed a sister company which specializes in reproduction and conservation, Deep Eddy Designs. In this capacity we have, and continue to work extensively with the State Preservation Board reproducing and restoring furniture for the Texas State Capitol.
While we build primarily out of wood we don’t consider ourselves purists and are always on the lookout for new materials and techniques and will use them if we believe they are honest, add value to the piece and fall within the budget. Metal laminates, aluminum, glass beads, linoleum and found objects are among these. The techniques used in these projects involve lamination, steam-bending, carving, turning, chemical staining and of course the standard woodworking skills.
Most of our clients have a specific design in mind when they contact us and this results in a portfolio as varied as our clientele. We collaborate with some of the most talented artisans in the Austin area. We believe that being able to work within a network of trusted, highly skilled artisans is an advantage for our customers.
Deep Eddy provides a range of services, from design work to repair. Often our customers will hire us exclusively for our design ideas, CAD drawings or sometimes only for technical know-how. Call us today for more information about our services, designs and products. It would be our pleasure to work on a customized project for you. More galleries at deepeddy.tk
