Thank you all for taking the time to view and respond to my project. Allow me to reciprocate:
James McIntyre - Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the top (and shelf) tiles are cut from one large format (24 x 48 inch) tile. The large format allows me to select the nicest parts of the tile for the best effect...
BB1 - Thank you. The wife was the one who suggested mixing tile with the Mesquite. It turned out to be a nice mix of materials and we like the results. Thanks again...
Steve Rasmussen - Thanks Steve. Appreciate the kind words. Adding just the right amount of G&G detail is always a challenge. But the end result is worth the effort...
Splinter - Thank you for noticing the bookmatching on the legs. About the tile - the top tile sits on a solid wood (Mesquite) panel that floats within the surrounding frame. It's very similar to a solid wood Shaker panel cabinet door. The tile is removable but is a pretty snug friction fit because of the surrounding Walnut trim. The shelf tile simply rests on cleats that are attatched to the inside of the lower rails...
Pottz - Thanks. At first, I wasn't sure the tile was the right choise. But the wife knows what she likes (or doesn't). It turned out to be the right selection. Thanks for the comment about the base. The starting point for it was the coffee table in the Gamble House. It's often positioned in the Inglenook near the fireplace. I've always liked that table, we simply added a curve to the legs and 1/2 inch gaps between them. Thanks again...
WoodGuy - Appreciate you responding to my project. The house is gradually filling up with the kind of furniture that we really like. It's a labor of love, but worth the effort...
Oldtool - Yes, the tile is cut from one large format (2ft x 4ft) tile. Thanks for the kind words...
987Ron - The wife wanted to mix things up a little, so we decided to add the tile. Her tile choice goes well the with Mesquite lumber. Thanks...
Petey - Thanks for the nice words. Yes, the legs are either bookmatched, or cut from a wide board to the keep the interesting grain patterns intact. Thanks for noticing that detail...
Birdseye49 - Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment about my project...
Jim Jakosh - Thanks Jim. Yeah, we love Mesquite too. It does seem to be pretty stable. I've never had any trouble with it moving around after assembly. Thanks again...
