Illuminated Dining Table

By thomasmiceli, member Mar 22, 2011

Solid cherry mission style dining table with a modern twist. Table is illuminated by twinkling fiber-optics powered by a LED light generator. When illumination is off the fiber-optics blend in with the grain and are impossible to see; however, when turned on, they immediately command attention.

Chuck,
Thank you for the comment. It took a bit of trial and error on a few test pieces, but I eventually found a method that held the fiber optics securely and maintained a smooth table surface.
Regards,
Thomas
