Banks St. Coffee Table
The top for this piece came from one outstanding board of cherry, which was then resawn and bookmatched.
This piece was built for a client who wanted a coffee table with a few nice, little details, but didn’t want to “bump into it.” The result is a table with a small overhang, curved and resawn stretchers, and a small drawer.
Dimensions: 42″ x 26″ x 16″
Materials: Cherry, Texas Ebony, Maple, Native Olive
Finish: Tung Oil, Wax

After several mockups, the client and I agreed that the best way to avoid a large overhang for the tabletop would be for the legs to actually come through the top itself. The "notches" are softened slightly, and a gap around the legs allows the solid wood top to move as it needs to.

Stretchers are held in place with socketed tenons, and protrude slightly through the cross-rail.

Beautiful piece Clark. Did you desing it yourself? It kind of takes from Greene & Greene and classic arts & crafts, but in a modern kind of way. Is that what you intended? Very simple beauty....love it!
