Season 1, Episode 11: Copper-Top Hall Table

Select Source

Made from solid black walnut, the stylish hall table built in this episode stands on elegantly tapered legs that are joined to the apron with loose tenons. The copper tabletop rests in a walnut frame that has mitered corners and is joined with wood biscuits. The copper panel is cut and glued to a plywood substrate, then given a crusty blue-patina finish to impart a tastefully bold look.
