Course Description
What is a River Table and how does David make one?
Woodworking is one of the creative pursuits that captures our souls and helps us heal. Appreciating the beauty of trees is the foundation of this art form. Start by finding a piece of wood and seeing its potential, in the way that a sculptor sees the form in a piece of marble.
In this film, David prepares two tables for friends, one made of red cedar from Maryland and the other made of hard rock maple from New Hampshire. This episode has a unique education and apprentice flavor, as David teaches his son Brandon, and Brandon teaches a friend about the “pour,” using beautiful epoxy colors, including blue and purple, to create the “flowing river” sensation in the table.
David will show you how to create a form to hold the project and prepare and care for the wood. You watch him demonstrating the tools of the art of furniture making, including the use of a router sled to make the wood perfectly flat, a table saw to trim the edges, a wide sander in the local cabinetry shop, super glue to fill bubbles and cracks, sanding and polishing and finishing with Odie’s Oil. Finally, he shows you how to install legs and place your table in the perfect place in your home.
You will find yourself embracing focus, patience, and creativity. Art is an integral part of Integrative Whole Health and Integrative Whole Health is an essential part of your Living Whole journey.
