This was my first ‘nice’ furniture project. I only made one, but am thinking of making a second with a drawer. I constructed it with no plans, BIG MISTAKE! Next time I will make plans.

That looks great! Fantastic contrasts.

That is a very nice table. What types of wood did you use to get that nice contrast?

Hi Kevin,
This is a beautiful table. You are right about needing to build a second one. And now you have your own design on which to base the construction. And how about a coffee table to compliment the end tables as well. The possibilities are almost endless.
Keep the posts coming.

If you built it once, you can build it twice. Looks great, now do it again.

I agree, it does look great.
That figured Maple (?) you used on the top looks fantastic.

Great looking table, nice choice of woods and good job building it. I agree you need to make another one. At least!

Good choice of woods that compliment the design. Very concise & intricate detail to it’s look. The Maple makes the table come alive. Sort of eye candy, drawing your attention. Nice job.

The table looks great plans or no plans – never let plans stand in the way of a project. :)
