Process for making the Lafayette Coffee Table
The design for this coffee table was developed over a series of conversations with
my client who was interested in a piece that was stylistically minimal, modern, and embraced
the natural characteristics of solid wood. White oak with a pure oil finish was chosen to compliment the other
pieces of furniture in their space.
The Danish inspired tapered legs were one of the key details for this piece. The process video
below shows how the joinery was cut on the CNC router, and the final form was shaped by hand
on the lathe.
