Moroccan style maple hall table

‘This piece was constructed entirely using dowel joints and the only other fixings used were nails to fasten the drawer rails and drawers. I used cross cut timber for the face, top and middle shelf and quartersawn timber for the legs to make use of the different colourings in the timber so the finished piece is multi-toned. The front of the piece has been scrolled in a Moroccan style design using a jigsaw with very fine cuts 5mm at the thickest points. This piece and the others that I create are designed to stand out and be noticed as a feature piece of furniture art in any home.’
