- Ipe
- Sterling Silver
- Steel
My work with coffee tables started with a few boards of Ipe that I found on Craigslist. I had originally laminated them to make a top for a breakfast table. Eventually, I replaced it with a slab of granite so it just sat in the corner of the garage for a few years waiting for another life.
My first coffee table was this “California” table complete with a sterling silver inlay of the San Francisco Bay and retractable cup holders. The legs are a simple tripod configuration of three rods welded to a flat washer.
