This table is used both as a coffee table and as a way to display a brass portal from a sunken ship in the south Pacific. The portal is a family heirloom.

Re: Cherry & Rosewood Entertainment Console

Nice work Chico!
I like the idea of bending the side panels out, following the lead of the front stiles. I can see that the figure of side panels is continuous and therefore from the same board but with such a clean angle, I'm guessing it was cut and mitered, or did you steam bend it?
Just curious.

And your air-venting solution became a very nice design solution.

Also, nice color control. I'm guessing this is a result of your bookmatching and otherwise reusing the same planks throughout - for matching pieces, etc.

Great piece!
