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.

that looks great. i think that the inlays add a little something to the Zebra Wood top.

Awesome table and excellent work on the inlays. The zebrawood really makes this table stand apart.

the inlay brings more interest to the top than plain zebrawood. Not that zebrawood is plain… I like it.

Very nice. I especially like the tone on tone inlays. Sometimes the subtle treatments are the most elegant.

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.

Well done.

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.

I have never seen Zebrawood used as the primary species in a piece of furniture. Very nice AT!

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 …
