Walnut end table

Great job.

-- jeanmarc manosque france

Very interesting project. I like it.

I love this piece; the inclusion of sapwood, natural edges and through joints; it all reminds me of my favourite woodartist, the late Tim Stead

For what it’s worth, I’d go for satin every time time with this style.

I really like this one. It is visually interesting. I have been contemplating what it would look like to affix legs the way you have there. Great little table, thanks for sharing.

Nice looking piece of furniture. I like your wood selection. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

This is a really cool piece!

As I began reading the story, I thought something was odd…. woodworking and having to use the laundro-plex don’t usually go together. If you have a place for tools, you must have a place for a washer and dryer, right? Then I looked at the background in the photos, and I realized it looked like an urban area. My first thought was NYC, so I checked your profile and I was right on the money!

Woodworking in the city must be a challenge, huh? I’m a suburban southern boy myself, but my daughter goes to college at CCNY in Manhattan, so I’m a pretty frequent visitor.

I really like the heartwood/sapwood and live edge features of this piece. it looks beautiful.
it must be a great conversation piece.

Good job and nice wood = beautiful table

-- Jiri

This is not your father’s shaker table! I love the originality of the design, which is followed through in the use of materials! I can’t wait to see the matching coffee table…

Wow ! that really caught my eye when I first loaded the page. Nice job.

THIS IS GORGEOUS! The play between the sapwood and the heartwood is visually striking. I know the piece that gave you the inspiration and it would be an under statement to say you improved upon it. You knocked it out of the park. To me this sculptural piece deserves the modern look of a satin finish. A glossy finish just wouldn’t look right for this piece. Again, beautiful piece.

Satin it is. I’ll post pics when it’s done….
Thanks for all the kind words.

As others have said, it’s beautiful. I really like the effort put into wood selection and joinery.
It came out great. Top notch.

-- Gary, Florida

Nice piece, reminds me of a cruise ship uperstructure, don’t know why that was my first impression when I saw it, but thats what I thought. Love walnut too.

-- Dan Wiggins

Certainly use the Satin finish on this wonderful project….I agree with the “cruise ship resemblance” but of course it is much nicer in Walnut than steel : ) Great job indeed !
