Mesquite End Tables w/ G&G details
Hi Craftisians,
This is a recently completed set of end tables for our living room. The design is influenced by several pieces of furniture in the Gamble House that I've always admired.
Details - Mesquite with Porcelin tile. Black Walnut pegs, splines, and trim. Mortise and loose tenon jonery. The table measures 21 inches tall. The top is 17 by 25 inches. The Wifey picked out the large format tile (2 by 4 feet). I would have never picked it myself, but it turned out to be a good choice. Smart girl...
The finish remains simple. Two brush coasts of Danish Oil (natural) and two sprayed coats of Shellac (blonde). A top coat of wipe-on polyurethane was applied to the frame around the tile to protect it from adult beverages.
These are the first pieces for our living room. Also planned are a matching coffee table, storage credenza and wall cabintry. OOOF! Better get back to it. Happy to answer any questions. Comments are always welcome. Thanks Craftisians...

Those are beautiful Tim. Is that one large tile? I know they are making larger tiles today. They work well with your great craftsmanship.

Wow! Really like the incorporation of the tile. Looks great!
Nice tables! You do a good job of using G&G details.
Fantasmic!
The booked legs and gap really set the theme.
Question on the tile, how did you set it and what is it set to?
It looks like you have some nice spacing around the perimeter and the tile colors are spot on IMO.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
You’re furnishing your home with fine furniture. Fine work.
Beautifully crafted tables Tim, super attention to details. Like James noted, the tiles look great and viewing the patterns in them sure looks like one large tile in each top.
Beautiful tables. Fine, excellent detail work. Wood, tile, design all work well together.
