This was a simple table I built for a dear friend. Her bed was tall and she wanted a table that could meet that height, with a drawer to hold some books and a few necessary items. I had built a country kitchen of Chinquapin wood that summer, and I had one very special board left over from that job. It didn't look like the other wood. It had intense color, grain pattern, and figure. So I made it into veneer and the result was this table. Notice how the flitches mirror each other and how the grain wraps around the corners.
