Trio of small Greene and Greene tables

image

The larger table has a glass section with an antique Chinese wood carving displayed below. They all have the rare “plum pudding” grain on the tops, but it doesn’t show very well in the photos. Mortise and tendon; ebony pegs; Waterlox finish.

Lenny home \| projects \| blog 126 posts in 426 days posted 81 days ago	Hi Ken, these are beautifully made tables. The Greene & Greene style is great and you executed it well. I love the dovetailed drawers (who doesn’t?). Is that ebony wrapped around the edge of the drawer front? Nice touch there. You mention the “plum pudding” grain but fail to mention the species of wood. It looks similar to mahogany. Also, I must say that is quite a tease to tell us of a Chinese wood carving and not show a picture of it! Again, you did a great job. -- And on the eighth day God was back in His woodworking shop!

Beautiful wood from what I can see, I’m with Lenny – don’t tease – more pictures please. Later, Doug in AZ. -- If you need craft books - please visit our small business at http://www.wittywife.com

I think I still have a picture of the carving around, but the table “moved” to Seattle, but I still have the smaller two. I’ll try and take a snap when the sun is out to see if I can capture some of the grain. -- ken
