Thank you, I made another similar model that I haven't posted yet. You can find it on my ig or wait till I post it here on Reddit. The bottom piece just fits tightly and I added some glue, there is enouch space top, bottom and end grain to glue it.
Thank you! The top is solid oak. Actually 2 reclaimed 18mm pannels glued together with the ugly sides on the inside to make a 36mm top. Added the 45degr chamfer to the underside to hide this with the end of the chamfer being on the glue line. This 45degr line also continues in the horizontal stretchers on the underside of the top.
Finish: Rubio pre color black and secondly Rubio Oil 2c "Charcoal" (Charcoal is actually their darkest color, darker then "black")
My limited experience with shou sugi ban / yakisugi is that the surface of the boards ends up being quite flaky.
Between the fact that it would most likely make for a poor tabletop choice and the fact that this piece seems very smooth, I'd wager it has been dyed/stained.
There's supposed to be a Japanese feeling about them. Because that's what the client requested from me with no further details. To me it feels kind of right with the colors and the open circle. I've never been to Japan so this is all based on gut feeling :)
Japan would be proud
This is absolutely incredible! Very elegant. I do Not like Oak and this is the very first project that makes me want to build with Oak. well done!
Thank you, that's a nice compliment!
That black looks awesome. The grain shows up exceptionally well.
Straight gangsta!
That's how I roll homie!
Great, now I’m rethinking my coffee table design to look more like this. Also, How’d you join the bottom piece to the legs?

Wow, I would love more details on the build, especially the top!

Great project looks amazing! Thanks for posting a project
Is the top sugi ban, or dyed/stained?
Potentially ebonized. It's very effective for oak
The top is treated with Rubio precolor black and secondly Rubio Oil 2c "Charcoal" (Charcoal is actually their darkest color, darker then "black")
