The making of the Golden Iris Coffee Table or...

I developed this table about 5 years ago. The leg structure is based on a curve I came up with a few years earlier and I have been using for a lot of my furniture, even lamps.
It is one of my best sellers, available in walnut, figured maple or cherry and sells for C$2200 in maple. The size of the glass is 44" (112cm) by 27" (69cm) with a height of 18 1/2" (47cm). Larger sizes are available. The last table I made accommodated a 19mm elliptical glass of 72" by 36" (182 x 91cm). Well then, here is how I do it.

You can get this table only from MapleArt. |
