My niece and nephew asked me to make a coffee table 24 x 24 inches and 14 inches high for their living room. I think they really meant 24 x 36 inches, so I’m gonna have to make another it seems. Still, there’s something wicked cool about this one — aluminum top and silver-gilded turned sycamore legs (turned from neighborhood winter deadfall) with narrow lacewood trim… FANCY!
legs turned from winter deadfall sycamore - each is different -- assembled to 3/4 inch plywood support and 1/8 inch aluminum top
legs and top painted black with sumi ink
silver-leaf applied
table complete with lacewood banding
