Slowly I am getting back into the shop and be a little creative, my latest project is a coffee table inspired from a woodworking magazine I subscribe to. It is essentially the same except for the openings in the ends and the bottom grid. I used a honey comb style rather then the original squares. I make mine from yellow birch, most of the construction is the same, mine isn't as bulky as the original, some parts are thinner As well the corbels on the ends were to fit into rabbits, I thought they would hold better if I used a sliding dovetail, and it worked great. I was able to practice this type of joint and any time I can do something new is a benefit to my developing my skill set. We are still looking at different stains and when it's done I'll add more pictures later, until now here is a sneak peek at what I've done so far.
