Side table based on Seymour designs, but with contemporary veneers.  Mahogany, fidleback makore, holly and ebony with a crotch birch ellipse in the center of the front apron.  I have made a number of these in various configurations, but always with the crotch birch inset.

This table is that way. Without noticing all of the exceptional detail and craftsmanship, the first glance, overall look is simply stunning. The style, the proportions, the woods used, the intricate craftsmanship all fit together to form a very pleasing, elegant look. This one gets my vote, too.

Excellent clean work.

You have indeed inspired me to get off the coach, out of the books and into the shop.

You have my vote!
