    Default Coffee Table - NG Rosewood & Silky

    Hi Folks,

    Here are some pics of a 'floating top' coffee table with lots of curved bits which is my first real piece of furniture for our house.

    The base is New Guinea Rosewood and the top is Silky Oak. I finished the base with an oil/varnish mix then Ubeaut wax. The top is finished with wipe on poly to give it a harder wearing surface. Finished size is 1m x 550mm.

    NG Rosewood is a beautiful timber to work and looks great. The Skily top was made from a very ordinary board that had some checking on the underside that I filled with epoxy.

    Joinery for the base is all loose tenons and screws in slotted holes to hold the top. I pinched a good deal of the design from Wongo - thanks Scott.
    Its been a great learning experience to build - I hope you like it.

    Cheers,
    Geoff

    Great work Geoff.

    It looks very smart. I like the gentle curve of the legs and the lift of the top from the rails.

    The silky oak is very attractive and I like the way you joined the boards.

    I've been wanting to make something out of NG Rosewood myself for a while, but first I have to get through the current pile of stuff on my racks.

    Hi Gimjam, table looks great. Simple design but enough going on to make it interesting and to me it looks classy. Very nice workmanship and finish.
    The time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
