Here are the last remaining pieces of Mahogany from my Highboy project. I had a few days of cool weather in March, and decided to make this table. It features a one piece, 16” wide top, and the frame is around 22” tall. The top is the scrap from the Highboy scroll board. Finished in Armor Seal.

Matt-
The table looks nice, very clean lines. But where is the Bubinga inlay ??? (:
I think mahogany is the prettiest when it has a simple oil finish. You did nice.
Bet your wishing for some of those cool days again. Its been in the 90’s for the last 3 weeks, up here.
Thanks for posting.

Thanks guys!! I was drawn to this piece of Mahogany when I first saw it on ebay. I had laid out my mortises on the legs, and cut them, but I made a mistake on the layout. I originally wanted a slight reveal by offsetting the mortises. Once they were cut I realized my mistake, but I also noticed how even the joint was. So I just went with it, and sanded the legs flush with the aprons. I think it turned out great.
Yeah Dave, it sure has been hot here in Houston! Can’t wait for that first cool front!! I will be ready!!
