More Tables

[Dara]

I make these hall/entry tables once in a while.
I figure on selling these 2.
My own design from looking at floating top tables around the internet.










I managed to get both tops out of one board and have 2' left. Can't decide if it will be a little table or cut it up and make a box to sit on one of these





Thanks for looking

After looking at Don Juvet's massive redwood table these look so light and elegant. Beautiful work. What wood is it?

I vote that you use the remaining wood to make a box to sit on top of one of them.

Can't tell from the pics, but does the 2 pieces supporting the top actually protrude through apron or are they mortised in the backside and did you create a shallow mortise on the front to give the appearance that they're through mortises??


Nice tables!

Thanks for comments

Frame is cherry and tops are flame birch.
Finish is a few coats on Minwax Tung oil..I still have to do final sanding and last coat.

The pieces holding the tops do have through tenons. They protrude about 1/4"

I love the tops, and design

Those tables are wonderful! Simple design, unpretentious but with interesting wood and details. You didn't slather a bunch of chemicals on them either. Well done, very well done.

Very nice design and execution......well done!

Wow, I love those tops. I don't like what a lot of people call flame birch because it just looks like blotching to me. Those tops, however, are beautiful. I have always liked the floating top design and you nailed these. Ken

Thanks guys...I wanted to finish them tonight but ran out of figure 8 connectors and have to put in a Lee valley order now.

Ken, I find that sanding to 320 or better gets rid of the blotchy on figured woods

Beautiful design and love that flame birch.
Thanks for sharing the finishing tips.
