She needed a table to accompany the desk-hutch and fish tank table I built for the study. No problems staying in the same style but... I had to accomdate an ackward printer on top.. a tall and narrow shredder underneath.. and she threw in her requirement for the bottom to be high enough for her female feline to hide and await in ambush. Women! And I wanted over-hang on all sides even though this will fit on a wall but.. I wanted the capability for the piece to be a free standing table in any situation when it is passed on in the future.
There lies no problem so far but... it had to fit in a 25" gap between the computer desk-hutch and wall. Seeking balance and proportion under those constraints was the problem and a large one for a rookie designer as me. No Auto Cad to assist a given look after the mental solution was visualized. Just visualize.. put a plan on note-pad and cut hoping for the element of pure Pot Luck.
The piece is QSWO with 90% darker heart-wood left over from 3 other recent projects. Gaboon ebony accents. All joinery was mortice and tenon.. bridles.. through tenons with no screws except for top fasteners. My design all the way so I have to take responsibility for however the results might be judged.
Risk.. challenge can be very frustrating or very rewarding depending on the outcome. The piece meets the requirement for the electronics dimentions that will rest on it. But... does the outcome meet the design requirement of proportion and balance? You can judge for yourself.... and rest assured the pictures are horrible but what's new with me taking them.
