I made this side table for our Son.  It is made of Hard Curly Maple, Norway Maple and many tropical hardwoods.  It is finished with 4 spray coats of satin polyurethane.  All colors are natural.  The multi colored medallions / inserts are made using a process I call finger joints.  Finger joints are are made using wither band saw or scroll saw: use cut, glue, cut, glue, cut glue again.  Joinery used included dovetails, splines, through pinned mortise and tenons, half lap, rabbet, wood screws at a few places.  Hardest thing I ever built.  Size is 16 by 48 by 32 tall.  Hours were about 90.  The top floats of expanding pieces.
