my first project

Absolutely beautiful. What kind of finish did you use? Love the tile top. Great idea.

From what I can see it looks great. I really like the idea of incorporating different materials, such as the tile here, into a piece of furniture. I think it adds a unique detail.

As a suggestion why not put up more pictures of your projects from different angles so that the entire piece- legs drawers, door, etc.- can be shown. There are three slots for pictures, use them all to showcase your work.

Thanks for sharing the picture of your table.

Looks from what I can tell. I’m with Scott, I’d love to see more angles and whatnot. I’m considering a new coffee table, and this is a possibility to run past the wife. More pics would help my case out :)

Nice job DGunn. Welcome to lumberjocks.

Thanks for the kind comments. The pics I added make the legs looks kind of tall and skinny. The legs are 4” square and about 12” long. The entire coffee table is 15-1/2” tall. It is 3’ x 2’. The finish is just a good dark stain (Zar I think) with poly rubbed out with some steel wool.

It looks great. I sure didn’t think the legs looked skinny from the pictures.

this is great!!!

excellent work, I know that it is square because your tile work would advertise any misalignment, and the beefy legs are appropriate to support the top. Did you build the top first, then the table, or table first then incorporated the tile work? Really nice job.

Very nice work. There’s always something special about your first project and this one is really nice.

Great work. Are you sure this is your first project?

Bradford, I built the table first. I bought the tile first, then spaced out the tiles on my workbench to verify that I had the measurements correct.

Todd, thank you. If you could see it up close, you would find a few rough spots and be able to tell it was a first project. I still make mistakes, I just try not to make the same ones again. haha.
