    Koa hall table

    Here is a hall table I just finished for a friend's new house. It is made from Koa with Mango inlays and arched accent. The finish is Watco Danish oil and paste wax. The outdoor shot is to show the color of the wood in sunlight. I appologize for the not so great photography.

    thanks for looking,
    Rob

    Thanks for posting that. Really beautiful. I like the leg tapers and the thin arch under the top. Interesting item on top as well.

    Beautiful! I love koa, I just wish it wasn't so darned pricey. I bought some plain Jane koa - no curl but very pretty, when I was working on Kauai and paid $23bf for it.

    Fine job on the table Rob, from the tapered legs to the thin arch not to mention the inlay...

    Very very nice. The table has a lot of interest from the figured wood and inlay to the tapered legs and they all work well together.
