Federal Style Coffee Table
The coffee table shown below was constructed in a Federal style from solid tiger maple and black walnut - this
table is part of a three piece set designed for a customer's living room. The legs of this table are copied from a
Sheraton style card table with hand turned feet and capitals and hand reeded tapered central sections. The overall
dimensions of this table are approximately 48" wide x 26" deep x 19" high. The top of the table is based on the
design of a card table from Maryland with canted corners and scalloped edges. The design of the table aprons
with canted corners mirrors the top design. Walnut crotch ovals are inlayed on the table aprons and canted
corner blocks these ovals are surrounded by a stringing of maple and walnut. The construction includes mortise
and tenon joinery, wide board top, hand shaped Sheraton legs and a hand shaped scalloped top. The size, style,
wood selection, and coloring can be customized to suit the customer's requirements.
