The whole table ... Its 34 x 100 so it was tough to get it all on in the limited space of my finish room to get a good angle
The table base .... 3/4, 2, and 1/2 steel .. Custom fabricated by my son, Sam
Really nicely welded
The jig to hold the parts to be welded
Another recent project by Sam from the metal shop
The Cockatoo Chairs
Mockup for the steel and mahogany table
The 1/6th scale model
The walnut paneled room ... Posted here earlier and also detailed on my blog.

We recently completed the claro walnut and metal desk/table shown above. It was installed yesterday in a niche in the walnut paneled room we have been working on for the last couple of months ... I have not seen it yet, but will post a picture of it on site after I visit the client this weekend.  The room is complete and I'm looking forward to seeing it.  We began design work on the paneled room project as the construction of the client's addition was gettin underway, around the first of the year.   There are more details on my dorset custom furniture blog regarding the table's construction and design. Also in the three posts below that one you’ll find more info about an interesting metal and recycled redwood console, a steel and mahogany table ptototype we’re working on for the ‘cockatoo chair’ project and an interesting little metal door project that could just as easily have been done in wood …. Check it out here ...

Thanks!

It is pretty heavy but, although we delivered the base in one piece, the 1.5" steel round and the 1/4" flatstock top connector unbolt from the two 'trestles'so you can take it apart if you want to. I'd guess the base weighs about 150 and the top another 75 or so pounds ... It was a fun project start to finish. We're working on a coffee table with a similar slab top now.
