This coffee table is my own design and really the first big project I undertook as a woodworker.  I built this table several years ago and it is still one of my favorite pieces.  This table sits in my living room and gets plenty of day to day use.  It is made from solid cherry with small accent squares of curly maple.

I also used well seasoned cherry and to glue all the joints I used Titebond III. I built this several years ago and now that I know more about wood movement, I think I've been pretty lucky they are still tight!
