all at once
ok. so i know that it’s annoying, but i’m going to fill you in on the past 2 months all in one shot. we’ll start with some sketch models. i decided to make some tables and i went through numerous designs before i decided on the final ones. here is a selection.
this is the very first square table that i made. quite intricate.

next i tried simplifying things a bit.

then i went back to getting a little crazy. the top of this one is based on a map of the san francisco bay.

then i decided to go for more of a rectangle table that would comfortably seat 4.

here you can see the dining table with the coffee table that i had planned.

then i went through some color explorations trying to decide what the final ones might look like. i decided to keep them just straight up black and white.

i wasn’t thrilled with the black table, white inlay look, and then i realized that with the construction methods i was using, i could actually do some veneer.

in the next post i’ll get to actual construction of the pieces.
