This is a table that I made 15 years ago for a designer here locally. The table was designed to have their last name initial “W” cut into the two sides of the table top in opposing woods. I cut all my own veneers at 1/8″ thick for the entire top and used the Bevel cutting method for cutting marquetry. The center post of the table is a Queen glued up in two woods Maple & American black walnut.

A while back I got a call from a couple that has purchased the table at an estate sale. The new owner wanted a custom checker set made to match the style of the table. Which for me was a really great phone call because I never took any pictures back then of this table. When I delivered the checker set she let me take a few pictures.

The table was sitting in a small game room. It was a little damaged with some chair scratched lines on the legs and it was a little sun faded on the top but over all I was very happy to see how all my joinery and marquetry had held up throughout the last 15 years. So another 85 years and it will be a true antique I hope that it makes it.

Well the pictures are not the greatest but at least I got a chance to take a few shots! Thanks for looking!
