My tilt top occasional table was made primarily of babinga. The top is made of more than 50 pieces of hand cut babinga and bird eye maple veneers. The 8 pieces of the rim are joined with sliding dove tail joints. The stand features octagon tapered supports. The leaf adornment was carved from 2 pieces of bass wood and the lady bug was just for fun. I fabricated the positive latch myself on my poor man’s metal lathe.
