Hi Craftisians,
This is a recently completed coffee table for our living room. It retains many of the design ideas implemented from the previously posted end tables. With that said, the Gamble House dining room table did influence the design for the base.
Details - The table is 18 inches tall and the top measures 48 x 26 inches. The large format tile is the same as used for the end tables (smartly selected by my wife). Mortise and loose tennon joinery. Mesquite with Black Walnut plugs, splines, and trim.
Thankfully, the finish for Mesquite remains easy - two brush coats of Danish Oil (natural) and two sprayed coats of Shellac (blonde/clear). I did wipe a coat of satin Polyurethane on the top frame that surrounds the tile to protect the Shellac from adult beverages.
Whew, now it's on to a matching storage Credenza. We're also looking at adding some wall cabinetry and/or open shelving above the Credenza (Greene and Greene style, of course!). Better get back to it. Happy to answer any questions. Comments are always welcome. Thanks Craftisians...
