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.

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.

John,

This is a nice looking table. It has a very interesting design and is certainly original.

Thanks for the post.
