Coffee Table inspired by Greene&Greene

I like the natural look of the hand planeing on the top (am I right about that?). Looks to me like the Thorsen Table Challenge should be no problem for you after making a great piece like this. Beautiful work!

Very nice. Do you let people rest their feet on it?

oooooooooh my
first thought: I love the look of this wood!!
second thought: people everywhere must love it when a family member is a woodworker! What great gifts they get.
This is a treasure.

Looks great! Is that cherry with a darker stain?

Thank you all for the compliments. I did not hand plane the top, after it was glued up however it was hand scraped. As far as the feet go…it’s my brother’s table so his rules. It is cherry, air dried with a General Finishes Red Mahogany stain and sprayed with laquer. Again, Thanks for the nice words.

Great table. the shelf underneath, as well as the drawers should keep books, magazines and remotes off the top, so everyone can admire it!

Really beautiful!! I love the overall lines and the color. I don’t know if I could let a project that nice leave my shop, not because I’ld wouldn’t want to give it away to a loved one. But I’m sure my wife wouldn’t let it out the door.

Ryan – great interpretation of the Greene & Greene style. Using cherry makes it very unique. These “woodworker built” gifts are definitely the best gifts a person can receive as they show that you really care! Nice job!

Ryan, did you come up with the design, or did you have some plans? SWMBO loves the table and would like to add it to my list.

Hey Doc,
I saw a picture of an end table on a website and used that picture for inspiration. The website is www.furnituremaker.com He is truly a master.

Very nice work! I really like Greene & Greene inspired furniture. I haven’t done any G&G projects myself yet. Were the breadboard ends difficult to do? Are those hand-cut dovetails or did you use a router/jig?
