The Entry Table
It can't be said enough, how well glass and wood can be integrated together in design, whether it is a contemporary design or traditional. This stunning entry table is made of solid wenge, a base of concentric circles with a circular wood top, along with a 3/4" thick glass top that has an etched band on the underside of the glass. It is finished with a natural non-stained finish to show the exquisite beauty of the wenge wood.
So that the glass could be flush with the border, I put a 45 degree chamfer around the edge of the glass and a corresponding 45 degree recess around the inner edge of the wood border. The home is contemporary but with some classic details like the travertine stone floor in the above photo and a lot of curved walls. I built over 50 pieces of furniture for this home.
