Maple & Walnut End Table Maple & Walnut End Table Maple & Walnut End Table Click the pictures to enlarge them

This is a piece I finished recently for a customer. The only specifications I had to work to was that it needed a drawer and a shelf. It was a few weeks in the design stage, before I was happy with it. The drawer box is European Oak, and has a finger groove routed on the underside for opening. The tenon’s on the apron rails, have a curved shoulder in order to mate with the curved legs. This took me a while to get right.

It is finished with Osmo PolyX, which is a floor finish and very hard wearing.

This is only my fourth commissioned piece, and I think, my best so far.

Beautiful design. So how did you end up getting the tenon shoulders to be curved? Template with the router? I have seen very few tables where the leg comes up to the table top and I really like the effect. What are the dimensions?

great design. Nice curves, I like how the legs are incorporated into the top.

Very nice and clean, I love the simplicity of the design and how the curve of the legs is accentuated by the rest of the straight lines. Really nice work and beautiful craftsmanship.

I also am amazed by the legs,(I guess we are all leg-men so far, otherwise life would be a drag. kidding) Beautiful piece, very clean. The legs catch the attention, and bring you in for a closer look, which in turn makes you see the finish, and finally touch the piece. What did you seal the end grain with, to keep it matching the sides of the legs?
(still learning)
Thanks.

Wow, thanks for all the kind comments.

Tim – Yes, the shoulders were done with a template and router. The dimensions are (HxWxD) 500×650x450mm or approx 19×25x18inches.

Kineo – Yes, it is a satin finish. It is an hardwax oil product. It is very easy to get a consistent sheen and is repairable if scrached or stained. Highly recommended.

Bradford,

The end grain has the same treatment as the rest of the piece, just Osmo.

Thanks

Great job. Looks wonderful. Does the top just drop in and get attached to the aprons or did you tie it into the legs in any way? Nice work!

Beautiful design and execution. Nice contrast of wood species. I also really like the detail of the drawer front from the same piece of wood. Just follow the grain.
