I know the photos look awkward, its just they were taken with bad light and I had to adjust them in photoshop - I apologise for that. Anyway, Its a hall table definately in the Art Deco style with matching mirror made from ripple sycamore and ebony, veneers and solids. I like playing around with Sketchup and forming shapes based on squares; this started with a square knee-hole and expanded from that. It measures 36" high and 42" wide, and 12" deep. The mirror frame is not flat despite appearances, the ebony veener stands above the surface as I bought it 1/16th thick sawn cut. I cut the diamonds and carefullly cut out the background sycamore to make gluing in a bit easier without it sliding around. It measures 28" square and a 12" bevelled mirror glass inside. I'm currently making a lacquered jet black one with ripple sycamore feet and drawer front - the reverse, if you will.

So why didn't I put them on? I had to get them both ready for a show and didn't have another week. I thought that just maybe the inclined sides of the table was enough of a relationship, but you found me out! I will have to work longer hours to fulfill the promise of the original design next time. Humbly, Nicholas.

Other than material similarity one could separate the two pieces and neither piece would be weakened. Still really nice work and perhaps way off base

Obviously, we can't all like the same categories of anything. I give it a thumbs up for the design, thought, skill, and workmanship that obviously went into this project. Keep on keeping on.
