This is a solid Zebra Wood Sofa/Hallway entry table with black walnut legs. I opted to do the leaf inlays in zebrawood as well so as not to take away from the beauty of the wood it self.
This is a nice choice of woods. The zebrawood and walnut compliment each other well. The use of zebrawood for the inlays adds a nice touch to the design of the piece as well. This wood gives the inlays a subtle sense of realism in that it resembles veining in the leaves. The through tenons are a nice detail as well.
Really nice design. The leaves don't take away at all. Their is just the right number and placement of leaves. They really add a lot of visual interest without being too busy. Very well executed. I like this piece a lot.
My (nonwoodworking) wife said, "Wow! Nice inlays!". I guess I must be showing her a lot of posts or something. Terrific work, you sure do great inlay and design work.
Thanks Chris,,, I often use accent woods as the primary wood in a lot of my pieces,,,, its a lot more expensive, but the end results are worth it …
