This is a piece I just finished and dropped off to the gallery. The top is a piece of black walnut, I chose for the the grain pattern. I love the way it looked at the mill and it did not disappoint once I sanded it and put the finish on. It is 18” tall 22” wide and about 55” long. The legs are forged out of 2 1/4” solid steel bar, and the cross members are forged out of 3/4” solid steel, the wrap in the center is 1/4” steel rod. The steel has a black rubbed finish and the wood has a gloss poly finish.

That’s stunning! Beautiful piece of wood and the crafting of the iron is top-notch. I love how you used such heavy bar-stock – it really gives a solid and well-proportioned look to the piece. Whoever the owner of that piece is going to be he got a gem! Brilliant piece.

That is a very beautiful table. You not only have a wood shop, you must have a blacksmith shop,too! That is a nice forged support for the table. Very sharp design to go with that walnut top!!!!

Beautiful grain on the top. Walnut rarely disappoints. :) The base reminds me of a wrought iron fence that used to enclose a yard near a house I lived in when very very young. My brother got his head stuck between the vertical rails. This table brought back that old memory. LOL :)
