I have been making these tables for a while now and giving them as gifts. These two I’m keeping. They
are just the perfect size to set a drink on and are small enough to easily move to wherever they are needed.
The maple burl in the first table has a mesmerizing 3D quality to it. I never get tired of looking at the hills
and valleys in it. The narrow stripe is maple veneer and the edge is figured makore.
The walnut burl top is bookmatched from a flitch of veneer I stumbled across and recognized an opportunity for a heart shape if bookmatched in the right location. It’s kind of subtle, and the angle of the photo doesn’t show it that well, but when people notice it they react with pleasant surprise.

Chelios: The maple burl came from veneersupplies.com.
The walnut burl came from Rockler or Woodcraft some time ago when they had a huge pile
of veneer on a clearance table.

I first noticed (in the thmbnail) the arch & interesting upper leg transition. Of course the veneers are great.
