Certain styles of furniture feel like an extension of my personality and life style, and the “mission style, and the G&G in particular, are the ones that give me the feeling of comfort with simplicity and hominess.
This table has a bolivian mahogany top(left over from a wood floor job)with the breadboards, and the massive leggs of walnut. The drawer is mezquite with a long curved handle of mahogany, and the pegs and cloud lifts are purple heart wood. It is a very colorfull table. I gave it 3 coats of Tung oil, and in about a week I will seal it with 2 coats of shellac, and a couple of coats of poly.

Very nice, I find a lot of the Arts & Crafts pieces kinda banal but Greene & Greene really kick it up a notch, very nicely done, already looks like an antique :)

Like that floating tenon into the breadboard, saw it featured in FWW a couple of years ago. As Gary said, interesting choice of woods, especially the purpleheart. Great table!

My first furniture building project was a Shaker Table which is somewhat similar. I’m sure this gave you a lot of satisfaction. I like the G&G design features; particularly the Breadboard Ends.

I realize that this was posted some time ago, but, I really like your table. I especially like Greene and Greene. In fact I am reading a book about the Greenes and the Halls right now. Exceptional work!
