Gorgeous table, Charles. Good idea with the brass rods.

Fantastic looking table Charles

Extremely beautifully crafted and finishes. You are a real artisan. I thoroughly enjoy anything from walnut or pecan, but the design is certainly not of my favorite styling. Much prefer late 1800’s early 1900’s.

Russell,

I’m not and cold on Mid-Century Modern, but I really like this table now that it’s done.

Superb table you made there. An instant favorite!
Love MCM and this nails a lot of the tings that make a great looking mcm table – especially the floating top, the shaped legs and brass rods

Looking forward to see more stuff made from that nice courtroom valnut!

nice work charles! do you have any close ups of how the top is attached?

If you look in the fifth picture (of the six at the top), you’ll see a 1/4” hole drilled 1/2” deep. There are six such holes in the stretchers and identical holes in the top. Brass rods are inserted in the holes. That’s it. Here’s a pic from head-on.

Wow. Love the floating top. Wood and the finish is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing the details. I am thinking that a floating top may just need to be part of one of my future projects.

Nicely done. Elegant in an understated way. Excellent craftsmanship Charles.
