Project Information

I call this the "Opposing Arches" table.

This commissioned glass top display table, or buffet, is 50" wide at the base, 14" deep and 29" tall. It supports a piece of glass that is ¾" thick by 18" by 66".

The construction is shop sawn zebrawood veneers, laminated on two layers of 1/8" poplar bending ply, on a curved torsion box inner core. The curved members are then framed in sold quarter sawn sapelli. The divider box is shop sawn veneer, cut from a very fine grained piece of Macassar ebony.

You can visit my blog to see the construction tutorial by clicking here

great looking piece. Is the glass stable on the one centered post on each end? Looks like it could fall off the stand pretty easy. Not asking to be critical, because the piece is beautiful.

Really nice. I have always wanted to tackle something with a curve in it. May be one day. Beautiful work.
