Just finished this hall table for my wife. I chose the floating top design and also a few elements from a table I saw in the design forum. The primary wood is figured maple, the arches are mahogany and the arch inserts and inlay are ebony. The finish was very simple, blo and precat laquer. I had chosen em6000 for this project (1st time with water borne laquer) but, ups delivered it frozen, thus the product was ruined. So I opted for some precat I had leftover in the shop.
There are a couple things I would have done different, I wish I had used maple on the top supports instead of mohogany. I also wish I could have bookmatched the top as I wanted a solid top, but my local supplier only had 4/4 in figured maple, so I did the best I could with the grain matching.
As usual my photography leaves alot to be desired, so critique away, my projects can only improve with input from fellow woodworkers.
