Custom Furniture: Wench Tables

A little while back I posted on a custom built-in backyard bench I made for some friends: Completed Project: Wedge-shaped Bench [Wench]

At the end I mentioned the tables we also made out of the leftover (and expensive) wood.  The wood is Ipe (pronounced E-pay).  It is extremely hard and dense, and is well suited to outdoor use.

Here are the tables:

One thing thas is extremely important to me as a designer is to conceal the fasteners whenever possible.  You will notice that there are no visible screws, bolts etc. on the bench or tables.  This usually requires extra effort, both during design and fabrication, but is always worth it.

 

The tables are sized and proportioned for maximum flexiblity of use, as you can see.
