a square mahogany coffee table

this custom mahogany coffee table is ready to go now ... it's based on a design by ramsay gourd and we have made several of them over the years.  this one features some particularly nice figured mahogany from our friends at irion lumber and a rich reddish finish to be friendly a bubinga piano that resides in the same room.  it will be on it's way to california this week or next.  click the photos to enlarge them ...
trevor ran most of the parts below on the cnc and then with the help of some techniques and jigs he's developed over the series, assembled and finished this one.
the top photo's a little oranger than it really is and this one's a little redder ... still trying to figure out my new camera.

The design of your coffee table is pretty sweet - sort of architectural in look, to me at least. Awesome gain, very nice.

Really love the table what are the holes where the two arches join at the top?

ahhhhh thank you both. the two holes are for the screws that hold the keystones on. they were finished separately and put on after the other parts were finished.
