He has designed a unique mechanism which stores the expansion leaves within the body of the table. The transformation is both a piece of precision engineering, and dramatic theater. A video of one of his tables is shown below, along with a film giving an insight into the making of the tables.

Inspired by the work of Robert Jupe, who made the first expanding circular dining tables in the 1830's, George has created a table where the expansion leaves are stored within the body of the table, and rise up automatically as it rotates.
His unique unfolding star shape allows for a compact mechanism with a large range of table sizes.
One of the unique aspects of George's tables is how the grain is continuous in both the normal and extended states of the table.
The top of the table is made from either 12 or 24 pieces of veneer.
