Coffee table in burr / burl oak

Beautiful table, Stewart! The drawer joints really accent the piece. Lovely wood grain patterns.

Great work. Looks like some really nice oak. Do you buy that at lumber supplier? You don’t see that kind of grain patterns available in regular hardwood stores here, its hard to find here.

Great looking coffee table. Do the drawers push through? I don’t see any way to open them.

Great table, short chest.

Great looking wood.

Now that is a serious coffee table! But my wife and I would need two of them to bulldoze all our stuff into. I really like the open sides.

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

Love the over size bov joints set proud on the facing sides of the drawers.
Ir makes the table really unique.

Stewart, you haven’t been here long, but already you have an identifiable woodworking signature. This is a great creation. I love the design and the wonderful finish you applied to this and all of your work. Keep them coming, Mate!

The table is great but I like the vase more :) Do the draws push through?

Thanks all. I’m really knocked out by all your comments. I honestly hadn’t realised my stuff was that interesting. Treebones – Hardwood home-flooring has really taken off in the UK and I’ve found that some of the suppliers put aside some of the better boards or even some that are mis-machined & are happy to sell a few odd boards. They’re planed all round and very accurately thicknessed, albeit sometimes T & G. Oak is one of the most popular ones it seems. Fashion being what it is, I look forward to the day when some of these floors end up in local skips (dumpsters?) ripe for recycling!
-The vase is from a laburnum branch.
- The drawers do push through and works well as we have a sofa at either side and normally sit facing one another: ”Will you kick the third drawer open!
