Chuck’s Pembroke Table
by Nancy ~ March 11th, 2006. Filed under: Woodworking.Chuck has been creating beautiful things in his workshop. His latest creation is a gorgeous Pembroke Table. It has a beautiful book matched crotched mahogony veneered top. The drawer, legs and curved drop leaves are inlaid with decorative trim and edged with ebony. The pictures below show the process of bending the steamed ebony in a jig and then gluing it to the leaf edge. Note the lovely, hand cut dovetails in the drawer.
