063 - The dragons table center

This is a very original table center based in an old Italian design that I have reconstructed and restored entirely. The base is formed by three dragons that hold a six sided fretworked basket ornamented with floral motifs. In the center of the basket there is a structure originally designed for a narrow vase or a couple of dry flowers.

The sides of the basket do not include tabs, their beveling angles are precisely calculated and their exact position in the floor of the basket is indicated in the patterns so that they can be mounted with precision. The old original pattern suggested the use of threads to fix these sides.

These two pictures have been kindly sent by Oleg Velesjuk from Kaliningrad, Russia.

The table center is designed to be made preferably with 1/4 inches wood or with 6 mm wood, but of course other wood thickness can be used scaling the pattern. The following table gives the dimensions of the clock depending on the wood thickness you use:

	total height	basket width
1/4 in. wood	15,5 in.	13,1 in.
6 mm wood	37.2 cm	31.5 cm
3/16 in. wood	11,6 in.	8,9 in.
5 mm wood	31 cm	26.2 cm

Please note that this pattern is registered and copyrighted. If you would like to have it I offer it for 9 € plus shipping. The pattern is computer made, which provides total precision, and nicely printed for convenient scrolling. Please write me to [email protected] to buy this pattern or for any questions.
