Project Information

I built my wife a narrow hallway table so she can set her indoor plants on in front of our bay window. It is Japanese style inspired with the extra floating panel beneath the top. I was going to do through tenons on the legs but decided to go for a quicker build. Made out of solid and very heavy Brazilian Cherry. Finished with Sealcoat Shellac and then 4 coats of General Finishes Poly acrylic Satin.

Comments and questions welcome! Thanks!

Beautiful work. As Larry says, it really shows off the wood. On that note, where does one source Brazilian Cherry? I love the grain and color.

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. I am glad that it looks elegant in its simplicity.

I got it from my local Woodcraft store. They have an amazing selection of awesome hardwoods. Brazilian Cherry is also known as Jatoba, so perhaps you have seen it under that name as well. It is extremely hard, heavy, and dense, similar to Bubinga in my opinion. It is usually pretty uniform in its appearance but you can sometimes get some awesome figures.
