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.

Oak Coffee Table

This is a small coffee table I did for home. Oak and Mahogany.


After some help, I think that the legs are well positioned. Also, I made the legs removable, instead of glued in. This was super handy for taking it home on the train.


A key was in inlaid in the top. I like to think that this symbolizes home and a sense of security. Also it was fun to do. I plan on doing a series of furniture which incorporates old found objects. I found some cool old watch parts at the flea market the other day...

From the top the key almost disappears.
