Brian Hubel's hall table

I knew with my next project I wanted to make a coffee table and I wanted to use the padauk I had noticed in the first semester.  That's all.  But fortunately I collect a lot of wood people on Facebook and, thus, when I spotted a post showing Brian Hubel's hall table, I knew that was it.









What I didn't know was that my coffee table would take on a look of its own. Yes it has the same five drawers and trapezoidal sides but its very different than what I envisioned.  And that's okay.  In the end it will still be a coffee table but what I'll see when I look at it is all the time, energy, and thoughtfulness I put into creating something that no other person can duplicate. It will always be my baby.
