Coffee table for new lifestyle

jeudi 1 mai 2014

Our upcoming new lifestyle required a new coffee table in the living room. Its predecessor, a glass-topped large coffee table with 16 corners on it, was definitely not the most baby-friendly thing around, so my wife asked for a new one to be made.



Here are some pics of the natural edge Redgum table I ended up with for our home. It matches the rest of the "chunky handmade" style of furniture we are collecting in our home. I can highly recommend the timber supplier for anybody in Sydney - a really nice guy in Panania with slabs galore! He made a custom entertainment unit for us (the third commissioned piece for our house from him), and I made this coffee table to match. The beautiful table top was the remainder of the slab from the entertainment unit. They sit together and I'm thrilled with the result.



I mainly create little things (turnings etc), so this is the largest wood thing I have completed to date. It is constructed with dowel joints between the rails and the legs, and then held to the top using bolts through the rails.



Simon.
