A project straight from the heart. Our client
saw a friend’s heart-shaped end tables
and looked everywhere for identical pieces.
Not finding any, she commissioned us to
build similar tables, with modifications.
The original heart-shaped table top became
rounded and the legs more delicate to flow
better to the floor. Since the design included
no straight or square edges, a custom jig
was constructed to hold the legs secure
and in the proper orientation during gluing.
The tables are made of pine to match the
floors, walls, and ceilings of the client’s
country style home. The stain matches existing
millwork, consisting of three coats of clear,
water-based urethane. Slotted mounting screw
holes allow the top to expand and contract
with changes in temperature and humidity,
avoiding cracking and splitting. Table tops
measure 24”w x 30”h.
