Project Information

This sculpted side table was designed by us but heavily influenced by the style and joinery techniques of Sam Maloof. Built from solid Walnut, all joints have been reinforced. The legs and table support have been sculpted into a main center post. This table can be built to any dimensions.

Features Include:

Sculpted center pedestal
Maloof Joinery
Removable top
Hand rubbed oil / resin finish
Dimensions - Length 22'' - Width 22'' - Height 24''

We included a picture of the concept table, along with the templates we use to start the whole process off. The table is sanded up to 500grit using a abralon and use a hand rubber oil/resin finish.

You can view more detailed photos of this build at our custom wooden rocking chair blog

We build all of our furniture by hand one at a time in our 2 man shop, located just west of Toronto, Canada. To view more detailed pictures or to view other work, please visit our Custom wooden rocking chair site.

Nice focal point with the bookmatched top.

I noticed the conceptual drawing had 6-legs but you decided to go with 4-legs… was that for symmetry's sake, or did the 6-legs seem too busy, or simply a "less is more" idea (less material, less work-hours, etc.)?

I really like the overall size and balanced look of this table.

we didn't want to change to many things at a time to understand how our design will look and feel. More legs are in the future!

Simply put I love everything about it. The lines are great. IMHO 6 legs might be too much.

Nice piece Paul! If you have any need for metalworking in your future work or might be interested in collaborating on something I'm just north of you in Orangeville. Have a look at some of my projects and hit me back! I love artistic pieces and the blend of woods and metals is beautiful and durable.

The bookmatched top and the legs… Very nice table! Looks right at home between the rocking chairs.

Wow! Looks fantastic by itself and somehow even better between those rockers.

I'd have to agree that six legs may get busy. I'd keep it simple yet elegant. Then again I couldn't come close to your craftsmanship so who am I to say. ;-)

We're glad you guys like the new table, We love it. The original design was for 6 legs, But I think we agree with you guys that it would be too busy.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
