This Table is one in a set of 4 entitled “The Elements”. They are aptly entitled, Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.
This one is “Water”, I was able to find a rare piece of very quilted white Ash has the look of wavy water, so what better than a couple of Koi swimming around … The Koi are Solid Ebony and Paduak, the table is heavey 2 – 4” thick cherry, and the base is ebonized white ash. The base is all hand notched to creat the pattern..

A.T.,
This is a gorgeous table. The design and detail on the table are nothing short of artwork. Very nice.
Thanks for the post.

What finish did you use to keep the quilt shimmery?

That’s an awesome table, even without the inlay. The pair of koi really sets it off. I can’t wait to see the other three!

Wow, that is so cool. That is beyond my current skill level, but I like fish and have a pond out back, and I’d love to have a table like this.

Thanks again everyone ,,,,, To the Questions posed, The fish are made of sold 1/4 thick Ebony and Paduak.
The finish is several coats of Gloss Poly, steel wool between coats … “Deft Ploy”
Mac, The leg joinery is a bit more complecated to explain, but heres the 60 word version..
The short cross piece on the inside the actually holds the long stretcher pieces that go from leg to leg together. The legs them selves are notched, and the stretcher pieces actually slide into the front and sides of the legs. To hold it all together I hotched all of the stretcher pieces, long and short, so that they interlock in the center and around the legs … Very solid and heavy table …hope this makes a little since …

I like the overall design. It is a nice blend of Western and Asian elements..the mass of the legs doesn’t seem as obvious due to the delicate nature and grid-like pattern on the stretchers. I’d like to the see other 3 elements (earth, wind, fire). Post more!
