Black Beauty Wenge Table
Woodworker: Kip GloverThis wenge and yellowheart table’s final form was the result of lots of careful planning and one lucky mishap. Glover started the project (his first as a student at College of the Redwoods) with several drawings and a quarter-scale model. He says the idea of creating the double legs, plus the striking contrast between the wenge and yellowheart, got him “fired up” about the project. But after creating a slight roundover along the edges of the tapered legs, Glover realized that a drawer box would no longer fit flush against them as planned. Having the box wrap around the legs was born from this slight mishap. The table is 16-in. deep by 21-in. wide by 37-in. tall, and the finish is a custom varnish.
