A coffee table that was adapted from the Dec 2012 edition article "Float the Top". Constructed from Australian Jarrah (which is like trying to work reinforced concrete!), and was finished with 3 coats of Danish Oil. It's a Christmas present for a friend.

Constructed by hand, using hand tools (once stock was machine rough cut to dimension)

Design or Plan used: FWW Dec 2012

My table tops are walnut and the bases are ash.
