Round Mahogany Table with Drawer
31" W x 31" D x 28" H

This table has a 31" diameter top with a drawer. It sits on a turned pedestal base (turned by Gary Wood of Canaan, NH) with legs joined to the base with a traditional sliding dovetail joint.

The table is built out of solid african mahogany with bent lamination techniques for the round apron and curved drawer front.

The drawer features handcut dovetails. The piece is stained and finished with polyurethane and rubbed with wax and steel wool.
