This is the end result of my second woodworking project. Originally, I was planning on making a dining table just like this, but my lumber guy convinced me to start with an end table. I’m glad he did, if only so that i could practice all of the elements and learn what design tweaks/additions I want before having to deal with large pieces of wood (the table is planned to be 72”x41”)

That’s some table. I wonder how much the full size would cost to build? I can only afford veneer, not solid curly. Great post/beautiful project.

Nice table dasnipa, welcome to Lumberjocks. Is that inlay border or a groove? I can’t really tell in the pics.

That’s a nice looking table. If this is only your second project, you’ve got a nice run ahead of you. Keep up the good work!

@mfike its an inlay. I cut it out with my router and a 1/4” straight bit. its about 1/4” deep.
@bradford I’m already working on the full size table… it cost probably around $170. That includes $120 for the maple (i paid a bit extra to get a matched set of wood all from the same tree) and $50 for the cherry. Yeah nice lumber prices here. I really love my lumberyard.

Looks awesome. This is a great looking end table, and it was only your second project. If you have any close ups of the table top with the inlay, you should post them. Cheers!

That is a very nice table and the wood is beautiful.

Wow, increadible curly Maple. A dinning table that size will be pretty intense. You are right about the prices. Where are you located?
