Sculpted Side Table

[flair woodworks]

I recently built this ash table.  It is 30" tall and took nine hours from when I decided to build the table (with no prior planning) until the first coat of finish had been applied.

For the rough-scuplted upright, I used an angle grinder fitted with an Arbortech Pro wheel.  To refine the shape, I used my Mirka CEROS.  I tried the 3/8" interface pad but didn't like it - it seemed to cause a lot of vibration and made the sanding action less aggressive.  Prior to this, I was strongly considering the RAS115 but now, I'm not sure I need it.

Very cool.  This ugly-board-to-neat-table project is another one for my things-to-try list along with your twisted-apron table from last year.
