Contemporary coffee table

Contemporary design using maple solids and rosewood veneer

This design is adapted from a table by David Marks. I resized it and substituted rosewood veneer. The base is maple and the legs are shaped in three dimensions using simple templates and hand tools. The simplicity of the design allows the stunning rosewood to dominate. The finish is an oil and varnish blend.
