I finished the tables of solid walnut. The case drawer and base are all from solid wood. The boards were laid up and mitered to allow the grain to be continuous. The design emphasizes its function. The base is heavier 8/4 to visually support the drawer case which is lighter and more delicate. They are linked by stainless rods which still maintain the clarity of the two parts. It is almost like a couple , a man and woman, the man is the stronger the woman the for delicate and more secretive (drawer closed) He is opened and exposes all. The marriage band are the stainless rods. Sorry for the metaphor
The lower portion is for books , magazines etc. The drawer is for your imagination
Dovetails are hand cut . The slide system I showed before.
I am thinking to add an ebony pull. What is your opinion????
