Its been taking forever to get a project finished, as most of you know we have been working on a few table with inlay but have been stalled waiting on our sandpaper, so on the meantime we have created this coffee table.
To me, it looks like it is balancing on the base and is very striking. The twisted wood is juinper and we have it setting on a cottonwood base. It has been sprayed with 3 coats of Satin polycrylic and is made for a glass top.
The table is 19” tall without the glass and the lenght to the end of the juniper is 31”
The largest size of glass you would want to go is 24×48 rectangle or oval and the smallest size is 22×36 rectangle or oval. We get our glass from a supplier out of Georgia, all our prices are wholesale and we pass that same price on to our customers, the hard part is that shipping costs as much as the glass, but for us it is still less expensive to order it than to get it local.
Anyway over the next couple of days we will have the inlay tables finished

WOW! Where do you keep finding the wood and the inspiration for these? That looks great.

We find the wood close to where we live, and then we flip it and flop it around until it tells us what it wants to be.

” The Taffy Pull Table ” ....You’re probably not old enough to know this term…L O L : )
This is certainly a gorgeous piece between the shape , colors , and the grain in both the twist and the base ….hopefully you will repost once you have the glass top installed : ) Beautiful : )

I love the fluidity of this creation. The tip on the third picture reminds me of seashells. Beautiful work of art. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like some Georgia O’keeffe influence there. Great design!
