Jeff,

This is a very interesting design. Normally I would never paint wood but in this case the top is so “busy” that the painted legs create a balance. Nicely done.

By the way out of curiosity was this done by choice or as a way of using saved cutoffs?

Thanks for the post.

I have three of those tables in my house! Great use of scrap.

A brilliant idea to use scrap pieces of different wood to make a relatively big table. Workmanship is perfect. How many types of wood are used and what are their names? The design of the base is simple and the black paint suits well.

In the top there are 6 different types of wood: zebra wood, cherry, ash, white oak, red oak, and maple.

Very interesting table. Very different… I like it.

That is a beautiful job. Did you laminate in stages, or all at once?

i glued the table up in to halves. i then planed the halves down, jointed the edges, picked the best seam, and glued the 2 halved together. i found it easier to do it it in 2 halves because once you start tightening the clamps all of the boards start sliding up and down, so with limited time to bang all the pieces down flat, its better to do half at a time.

Sometime’s that simple idea is the one that often passes us by. We often think about all of the frills that we can throw in, but this is a prime example of how a simple design turns out great. Love it. It has such an atistic look to it, and I bet that everyone that comes into your house comments on it as well. Great job, I’d love to see more.

my next task is chairs to match

That is an impressive looking table. I have to agree with Scott that while I don’t normally like the thought of painting wood, it really works in this example.

That’s a great looking table, and a good way to use up some lovely scraps!
