I been collaborating with Tim Reid lately and slowly working away at producing a variety of furniture and furnishings for The Lab Art Show in April. Below is a Maple coffee table we collaborated on. Tim has an amazing collection of wood and I was really excited when I had the chance to rummage and select a handful of pieces to work with. As soon as I saw the top I knew I wanted to turn it into a coffee table. With some similar off cuts laying around I felt we had the perfect materials to make this coffee table work. For the legs I found 2 pieces that each had a hole in them, and wanted to see to incorporate them. Stability was a concern but after numerous changes it all came together.  The top is highly figured, birdseye, spalted maple. The top was ripped to a slender 1″ thick and features a natural tray made out of the shape of the wood with combination of cut, while the legs both have so much character. A finish is still needed and sure will bring out all its amazing charachter.
