The table top is made of three boards of beautifully grained solid walnut.

Handwork is on display here with the Gothic carving along the aprons, influenced by 17th century British furniture. The aprons are joined to the legs with mortise and tenon joinery, finished with diamond faceted pegs.

The turned legs incorporate three pommel cuts, which are the points where the square stock turns round.  This is a difficult detail to achieve in hand turned legs, but the effect is quite elegant when it comes out well.

 

The Hanley Coffee Table is made of American Black Walnut.  It was designed by friend and schoolmate Erin Hanley.  You can find her work at www.erinhanley.com. The carvings are done band hand with only a few different tools.  It is finished with linseed oil, Waterlox varnish and wax.

Photos of the table build process can be found here.
