This coffee table was designed by my boss Grant Wyl;ychuk for the ODI Gallery. I built 14 of them over a two week period. It was tecnically an easy build, but instaling the Blu-motion Blum drawer slides upsidedown to the fixed drawer proved very challenging. First of all the slides are not designed to work upside down and second of all i am not an engineer and i do not have the ability to re-engineer the slides. Any ways i made it work after many hours of trial and error. I love working with the Bamboo board it’s 23% denser than maple and is very durable.

the wood is gorgeous. The piece – SWEET! and the slide – oh yah, hidden storage. Love it (especially since you don’t have to move anything to get at it!)

This is a very unusual piece. I can imagine the problems you had with the slides. I know it can be a difficult sometimes with open cabinetry to get them installed correctly so I am sure this presented it own set of challenges for you to overcome.
I like the bamboo material. It is gorgeous.
How are you finishing these tables?

Ah, I should’ve looked at this one first! Great work, I like the “moving the tabletop aside to get to the drawer” concept.

Beautiful work. The piece really accentuates (spelling?) the bamboo grain, and begs to be opened.

Thank you for all the welcomes. I thought I would let you all know that I have been given the chance to take down an old barn. The wood is ruff cut timber, I think its fir. but its nice will make some great furniture.

That is a ‘drop-dead gorgeous’ table. I like the interesting take on the drawer.

This is really cool. I love the design, it is unique and the bamboo is really beautiful. I second the request above, how did you finish it. Also, what was the final solution to get the slide to work?
