Our Forest Hill client was able to have their Thanksgiving dinner on their beautiful 10 foot bubinga table with it's highly stylized X base. As part of an overall installation including matching side tables, which may be used as table extensions, and an open stairway.
Stair treads of ribbon sapele with matching handrails add a nice warmth to the steel and glass staircase.
The dining table was a challenging piece, with tapered compound angles on every surface and the sheer size of the materials. Constructed of 3 1/2" ash with pinned tenons the base is made of 4 separate pieces that had to come together as a single unit with sapele center panels in place. A glue up of extreme tolerances with four 30 pound pieces in play was an adventure to say the least.
We expect completion of the stairway with landings and handrails shortly while we move ahead with new ideas for the One Of A Kind show in November and our next major project, an electronics armoire of natural edged sapele.
