Asian Inspired Side Table

The grain on that table top is wild: it really makes the table. Great build.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

despite our country’s economy, there will always be plenty of people/businesses (at least enough out there for us small guys) to get commissioned jobs (at least in CA)...maybe it’ll mean building things you don’t necessarily enjoy all the time, but with those skills I don’t doubt that anyone looking for anything custom built in your area would hire you. Love the design/materials/finish, awesome!

Thanks Brian. When designing the table I hoping that the simple lines of the form would highlight and set off the complex grain of the bubinga.

Ok how about another post from a Brian! :^)

All I can say is Wow! The figure in the top is outstanding. I really like the through tenons. That is something I have yet to incorporate into a project (I need to practice/abuse some scrap wood).

Hopefully things will turn around soon with the economy :^|

Very nice piece.

Don’t mean to be critical but it deserves being shot with a backdrop :)

Cheers, Don

I agree with Don K. about needing a nice backdrop to highlight the beauty of the wood and your craftsmanship . : ) Bubinga is certainly one of my favorite woods ..Check out this link .

Brian, another great piece from you, well done!
I agree with you about working with Bubinga, it is a stunning wood and your project really shows your skill and it’s beauty, congrats.
Craftsmanship like yours will always be in demand, keep your chin up.

Thanks everyone. I will try to shot some “studio” shots before the client picks this up. I actually like the backdrop of the outdoor behind the piece but I think it would also pop just having a white background as Don suggested that is properly lit. I am a little nervous about this economy but I am actually looking forward to a little time to catch my breath during the holidays so I can take some time for myself. Besides nows the time to work on some of the projects for my wife and I that always take a back seat.

Very nice job, I give it 2 thumbs and 2 toes up, thats all I got that’ll rise. Beautiful color and wise choice on the finish. Looks great.

Damn Brian, thats gorgeous! I love all the joinery. Great design, it really has a uniqueness that you only get in an artisan piece.

Man this is a suweet table! The design is great and the craftsmanship is excellent.

The choice of wood is a perfect compliment to the overall design and look.

This is really stunning. That grain on the top is wonderful. The craftsmanship is just obvious.

I don’t know how I missed this Brian,

That is a stunning piece. The construction and joinery are oustanding even down to having the slotted holes to fasten the top in the cross member.

Brian, this is great work. I agree with everyone else, you won’t have trouble getting commissions. You have a good eye and your work is really appealing. Keep at it. Ed.
