This is a follow-up to my post of a few weeks ago about a 12" by 66" by 1" piece of Purpleheart I got from my hardwood supplier. I really can't bring myself to cut that lovely board. Russ gave me an idea when he suggested a sofa table. This lovely board will be the top for a narrow hall table. I'm starting to look for design ideas on the web. Possibly shaker, maybe craftsman, maybe some type of oriental design. I've seen some tables in the past that look like they are just floating in mid-air and the legs seem hidden or understated.
This is one of those projects I really like. Lots of time to get the design right, some quality time in the shop, and finally a minimum of finishing to do since I want the wood to show with no stains etc.
