Tambour Table

By FWW_Gallery, member Oct 24, 2012

Woodworker: Todd PlummerThis coffee table features a canvas-backed tambour that slides around the circumference of the piece. Sliding the tambour reveals compartments at the ends of the table and a central through-drawer. Plummer was inspired by tambours while studying Scandinavian design at Capellagården in Sweden. The top is big-leaf maple veneer over quartersawn poplar staves. The rest of the table (21 in. deep by 40 in. wide by 17 in. tall) is solid curly maple. The finish is shellac and wax.
