Pool Table Build - Part 4

Part 4 in the series where John W. Nixon from Eagle Lake Woodworking builds an Arts and Crafts Style Pool table.

This video focuses on techniques for applying and trimming veneer. The video centers on the feet for the leg columns. The hollow foot will lend a substantial look to the bottom of the columns, and at the same time, the foot collar will conceal any shims underneath the columns that may be necessary to level the legs.

This video covers:
* The design of the feet.
* Application of veneer without a vacuum bag.
* Various methods for flush trimming veneer.

The quartersawn white oak veneer selected for the feet looks fantastic. The alternating grain direction gives a realistic look to the feet and makes them look like solid wood.

Quartersawn white oak gives this Mission Style pool table an authentic Arts and Crafts look.

I am going to take on this project using all solid wood. I think that some of the operations will be harder but without having to laminate or corner treat anything with a 1/4" strip of hardwood should save alot of time.

Brilliant idea alternating the grain on the veneer. It's those little things that are so easy to forget that really help convince the eye what it's seeing is "real" wood.
