    Small table for entry way

    LOML wanted a table with a drawer in a little nook for our entry way. I just have some finish sanding to do and then finish, but it's pretty much assembled (except for the hardware). I should have sharpened my chisels before trying the dovetails -- they're very rough, but it gives them charm, I think. Except for the table top, it's all recycled maple.

    What kind of pull do you all think would look nice for this? I was thinking about making one out of wood, but I can't decide...

      Nice looking table, really gonna be sharp with finish on it. I think I'd use a cup pull. Pat

              The table is very nice. The wood is very well suited for the project and will look great once finished! Did you design it yourself?

                  You have that Greene & Greene style going for you so I would keep it that way. There are a lot of sites out there but here's one suggestion.

                      Nice table. It has a clean, contemporary look. I would go with a modern look with the pull, maybe a bright brass/chrome combination.

                          Looks nice and I agree with Mike McCoy... you have a Greene and Greene working there so I would stay with a G & G style pull. Just make one out of wood.

                          Good luck and post your finish if possible...

                              Youve got some nice color match maple there - good job.

                                                  Nice table. My first thought was white porcelain or white with something painted on it, but after looking at the Green and Green site and paying attention to the pulls I agree a G&G look would be nice there. But. Your table is not (to me that is) in the style of G&G but rather it's heading in that direction so the pull should be heading in the direction of G&G but not yet a true G&G style pull. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project.

                                                  Bill,
                                                  It's not yet 8 am so feel free to ignore me, most do until I have had enough caffeine in the morning.
