Curly Maple and Walnut Table

 

This is an end table or display table with a curly maple top and walnut base. (Sorry for the lopsided photograph).

The legs on the base have a single graceful curve and the stretchers and other parts of the base are curved to match.

The curly maple top has an interesting pattern of stripes and grain. It's finished with a light amber stain, followed by French polished orange shellac. The combination of stain and the orange shellac really brings out the figure and gives it a warm color.

It has a  dovetailed drawer in the base and is constructed with mortise and tenon joints reinforced with pegs or wedges. The final dimensions are about 36" high by 22" long and 18" deep.
