Season 2, Episode 12: Bubinga-Veneer Coffee Table

Select Source

The simple, clean lines of this coffee table are the perfect forum to show off the specialty wood used to create it -- African bubinga. The sturdy legs are slightly tapered and joined to the frame with mortise and tenon joinery. Bubinga veneer is glued to a sheet of apple plywood to form the tabletop, and ebony inlay spans a narrow groove between the tabletop and frame.
