The coffee table was constructed from Waterfall Bubinga veneer (Kewazinga) and mahogany lumber. The fluid motion visible in the Bubinga Waterfall veneer symbolizes the rapids in the Niagara River at the base of Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is located about 75 miles west of Pittsfod, NY. The falls are an example of the power and beauty of nature and is captured in the Waterfall Bubinga.
The table was finished with one coat of General Finishes Seal-A-Cell and several coats of Arm-R-Seal Urethane Topcoat.

At the woodcraft in the big city (Nashville, TN) they have a bubinga waterfall slab 4’x8’ est. for around 1400. Very nice and expensive wood. Love the table. Huge fan of mahogany.

I love waterfall Bubhinga, This is really a great treatment of it. I have lusted after several of the waterfall bubinga pieces that had at Rockler but never had that kind of money for that kind of wood. Great Table.

Very nicely done, congrats! A beautiful table that will make a lasting heirloom! What did you use for the substrate under the bubinga? Can you provide some dimensions of the table? Would love to make one for my family room.

Thank you all for your feedback
As for the table size, the table top is 45” x 21”
As for the veneer, i purchased the veneer from Certainly Wood for less than $2.00 a square foot which made using the waterfall bubinga affordable. The substrate is MDF and the secondary veneer on the backside is mahogany. There are a few more details on my website: ‘http://www.gaborski.com/VeneeringProcess.html.
