2 Tiered Oval Coffee Table
Walnut veneer and Brass with a catylized lacquer finish.
Some of the challenges:
Getting the slots cut in the right spots for the brass pieces. I ended up using my 16" Radial arm saw.
Finishing the brass. I bought a 8' long piece of flat bar stock. It came a little rough so it had to be cleaned up,
cut and detailed the edges with a router, then cleaned up by hand.
For the oval shape I had my buddy cut me a 1/8" medite template with a CNC.
The brass legs are held in place with bolts going through a block mounted beneath the tops.

Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
