Walnut End Tables


End Tables
Walnut, Maple, Purple Heart, and brass watch parts
Tung Oil finish



This pair was built to go into the same living room as the Ouija table.  The crescent shape is solid brass that came out of an old stop watch.  The brass pieces work so well with these table because they go with the Ouija Coffee Table.  A lot of the imagery on the Ouija board itself looks like the crescent shape. 





The interior of the table is a drawer box that is just big enough for a magazine or a nice print.  It make a functional display case.  The purple heart is fun to work with, and it makes a nice subtle accent.






Oak Coffee Table


Oak Coffee Table
Oak and Mahogany
Tung Oil finish




This is the first time that I inlaid a key.  In hindsight it seems a little risky to make your first attempt in the top of a solid oak table, but seeing as how this one is for my house, it's just fine.  I'm getting better at inlays.  Maybe a wishbone sometime soon.
