Sofatable
I have just finished this sofatable. The top is Zelkova (Japanese Elm), as
are the lower shelf supports and the wedges. All of the rest is sycamore. Unfortunately I can't bring it into the house yet since we have a new puppy and he and our older dog race around a bit too much without respecting furniture. The color of the Zelkova does not show well in the 3/4 and frontal view. It is much closer to that shown in the top view. Blame the photographer (me) or the camera. Cheers, Larry |

Maybe you need to build a puppy fence! Looks nice. It would just kill me to make something this nice and not to be able to use/display it. |

Cheers, Larry Very nicely executed. Was this your own plan as well? -- If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough |

Sofatable
It's my own design. I wanted the top of the top shelf to seem to be floating
in space. Hence even the underside of the top shelf is veneered in sycamore to reflect light between the shelves. Finish is platinum blonde (Platina) shellac and wax on the sycamore and garnet shellac on the Zelkova. Then wax. The lack of spreaders and stretchers was an aesthetic judgment and may have been an error since it makes the table a bit more vulnerable. If I had finished this while our old dog was still alive, it would not have been a problem. With the new puppy, I'll have to wait until he calms down a little.
