one more... coffee table - Woodworking Talk

well it started off as an ottoman (sp?) and turned into a coffee table. made it for a friend, kind of designed as I built. maple and walnut of coarse. to bad the one picture is so dark, as you can see my living room was way to small for this beast

Very nice. I like the color contrast of the light and dark wood.

thanks much, almost every project I do has two different color woods, I really like the contrast, next I want to use maple and purpleheart, I have never used that wood yet, I have never used many woods

J4F,

I like that...

The dark of the walnut makes that maple look almost creamy.

Nice work..

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't even want to put a glass on it!

out of curiosity, where do you guys buy these woods. i live in central florida and haven't been able to find a lumberyard that sells these. do you buy them online.
