Walnut Table
This walnut one-drawer table with turned legs is my own design.
The drawer front is walnut burl veneer and quarter sawn walnut veneer with ebony string inlay and solid walnut cockbeading. The drawer sides are of quarter sawn beech with beautiful flecking.
The top has the same burl and quarter sawn walnut veneer, but is separated by a shop made black and white banding of ebony and holly.
Secondary wood is poplar. Sheraton style pulls are brass. Finish is oil, shellac, lacquer and wax.

This is a very elegant table, and the proportions are perfect. It would be nice to see some closer shots of the cock-beading and walnut inlay if possible.
Thanks for posting!
Now this is furniture! This is the kind of contribution I like to see on this site. I realize that not everyone can be as accomplished at producing fine woodwork, but some of the postings are starting to become really juvenile. We all start our journey in woodworking at the beginner level but need to develop some skill before sharing our early milestones. You obviously have traveled quite a few miles in your woodworking journey. This is fantastic work and could well serve as an article in Fine Woodworking. Thank you, Frank, for sharing this heirloom quality piece of fine furniture.

Mouppe,
I don't think I can add more pictures here. However, I kept a fairly extensive photo journal on this project. If you contact me directly throug my member ID on Knots (frankfive) I would be happy to share some detailed photos. I made the cockbead with a scratch stock and the veneer is hammered.

Frank,
I would love to see more details of your table. My email address is [email protected] if you would not mind sending pics and infomation.
As other have said, your woodworking skills are advanced, which shows in your table.
Thanks for posting this beautiful table.
