Trapezoidal Coffee Tables

These are the legs of a trapezoidal shape coffee table.  The mortises are cut on the legs and ready for gluing.

                                                                                                                                                                         This was a challenging clamping job since the legsare cut at angles.

                                                                                                                                  

Clamping the top was also not very straight forward because of the trapezoidal shape.

The final product turned out vey nice.  The top is bubinga veneer.  Solid wood is urban mulberry.  High gloss varnish finish.  The tables can be arranged is a variety of configurations to suite the occasion.  Same square footage of area with different footprints.
