Project Information
Just got finished with this Padauk & Ambrosia Maple coffee table and I actually remembered to take work pics this time! I made this for my own family's living room since we'll be getting reclining couches soon & won't have room for our former rectangular table… plus, well, I'll take any excuse to build a piece of furniture for my home! I am currently obsessed with ambrosia & spalting in any species of wood, so right when I saw this maple at Advantage Lumber I knew it would be our coffee table's top! It was a fairly easy build… tapering legs with one of my tapered leg jigs, chiseling mortise and tenon joints, sawing grooves in apron, joining maple with glue & biscuits, adding padauk inlay with CA glue to the top, sand, shellac & semi-gloss spar urethane on Padauk, satin lacquer on the Ambrosia Maple top, and then glue up & screw on top with fasteners.
