TV Table Stand

Nice table and an interesting drawer implementation. I must say I can relate to you saying, ”I had a couple of drawer pulls that have been just dying to be used …” Every now and then something I have, tool or component, whispers, “Use me next.”

Pretty and practical, you can’t beat that.

Cool table. I like the inlaid patern on the top especially.

Fabulous piece Gary. I love the access from either side. The wood alone should make it a valuable piece.
Thanks for the post.

Gary, what a great piece. The inlay work adds a wonderful touch to the table. I agree with you on the dowels for the drawer…far more distinctive as it’s far less commonly done. -SST

Very nice job on this table, Gary. Nice design with the two way drawer. I’m going to have to try out some mahogany sometime. Recent check at the lumber yard and it’s cheaper than the QSWO that I normally use.

That is really nice Gary. I like the two-way drawer, too.

As always, beautiful work Gary, great attention to detail matching up the corners of the inlays

Gary, very nice!

I’m curious about the inlay… how did you do it?

Really COOL!

Really beautiful table, Gary!

Judging from the quality and quantity of the projects you turn out, I’m surprised you have a one-year-old. I wouldn’t have thought you left the shop long enough to manage that. <g>

very nice Gary, but i am starting to doubt your ability to build all this stuff, yesterday you made the rocking horse, today this table?? do you sleep? do you have help? I am with Charlie, we have questions. (LOL)

Joe – I just created a blog on how I created the inlays.

Matt – The dowels are store bought “whatever wood” they happen to be. I cut and sand them then dip them in the same dye I used for the project and let them dry overnight. Then I just make sure I pound them on flush.

Great table, Gary. How closely did the the two mahogony species match? How did you adjust the dye that well?

-- North Texas

Tom – The santos didn’t really need a dye. For the african I just happened to have a batch left
over from my Art Deco box that matched perfectly.

If I didn’t have some that matched I would just add more water or powdered dye to lighten/darken the batch.
You do need to dye some test pieces to get it right.

Real nice table Gary, I really like the inlay and hardware you used. A+ Mike

that table is great, i love the inlay, and I just did the same thing with the pegged drawers. i like the way that looks too.

-- Joey, Magee, Ms http://woodnwaresms.com

Gary, that’s a beautiful piece…very functional too. You did a great job of matching the wood colors. I like doweled drawer sides, even though I’m a hand-cut dovetail fan.

I just saw your blog on the inlay…that’s a cool technique. I’ll ask here too…I’m curious if the slots for the constrasting wood in the inlay was cut with a top flat grind tablesaw blade.

Thanks for posting.

Gary,

The wood is gorgeous and the inlay adds a nice detail to it too. I like the two-way drawer that is something that is not seen very often.

Very nice.

Very nice design, execution and finish. Thank you for sharing this Gary.

-- Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

I like that push-pull drawer design. I have never seen that.
the pegged drawer joints do look nice.
your inlay is really cool. nice work.

Gary,
A sweet little table.
I commend you for the use of the dowels in the drawer. Dovetails are of course the ubiquitous choice for this joint. But I see no good reason to exclude the dowel as a happy alternative choice for this joint. In fact their “smaller” presence is I think a fitting choice for this piece.

Great craftsmanship! I do like the doweled drawer detail.

A very unique table with beautiful inlays and two way drawer, Gary. The size of the table is also well chosen and the finishing is very good.
