Loosely inspired from Federal Style furniture, this solid walnut coffee table was built for a customer who wanted to display keepsakes of their family vacations. The top features an inlay strip that goes around the perimeter. It was installed so the arrowhead in the pattern direct the eye to the corners. The drawers open from either sides and are slightly shorter than the width of the table so they appear recessed into the apron. The drawer fronts have bookmatch grain, which I built by slicing 1/8” thick bookmatch veneer pieces and gluing them to 3/4” thick solid walnut pieces. The drawer bottom are frame and panel construction. The bottom of the apron is wrapped with a cock bead housed in a rabbet. The 1 1/2” square legs are tapered on all four sides and have a 3/4” wide inlay strip above the taper. It is 52” long x 26” wide x 15” high. Finished with polymerized tung oil.

Very nice!!! I haven’t had the courage to do inlay yet but this looks great. Maybe I give it a try some day.

Lots of great details here! My favorite is the leg banding – it doesn’t jump out at you. You get to “discover” it after studying the piece for a while. Thanks for sharing!

Wow, you outdid yourself with this one. Warm wonderful walnut with fine details and excellent design strategies. That would be a fine addition to any room, no matter what the client decided to put inside it. Beautifully done!

Table looks sweet! You have done a excellent job. I’ve been playing around with some drawing for a table like this but haven’t come up with any designs. I really like this one. Again, beautiful work.

Definitly a cut above many items seen here, the proportion and scale/graining of the matched drawer fronts is gorgeous.
