coffee tables

i was working with a client recently who was looking for a spalted maple 
coffee table ... i had three pieces left from a log i bought from 
a local guy about 5 years ago.  we did a quick sand on them and
met with the client, who decided they were a little large for her ...
 i had these walnut legs from a previous table,  below,
bought by a client who had me change that table's legs to metal
 so when the current client selected another smaller slab, i finished up 
one of the three above and it is in the top two photos, ready to go ... about 23 x 64 x 16 high.
for a price on that one, please call or email 
802-379-1478, or dan@dorsetcustomfurniture.com
and these other two slabs are still available
and then, as i cruise the shop, other possibilities appear, like the one above,
the one above can go as is, or be made into an oval +/- 28 x 45, maybe a little larger ..
or this one could be a round coffee or center table, maybe 32" in diameter
and then a live edge table about 48" long by 30 to 34" wide
small dining or coffee table ..
also available is this 'and now for something completely different' white oak coffee table ..
the slab had some non removeable sticker burns which i had to paint somehow to hide.  
inspired by a david smith show at the clark art museum
it's been around for a while 
and can be seen, along with the one below at the ellenbogen gallery
in manchester, vermont, next to the price chopper ...
nice grain in this one
and the one above is in my office, but i'd be willing to part with it 
in order to make something new
and last, but not least, this is a piece of very highly figured claro
that would make an interesting console table with a metal base
and the grain running the short way, which is atypical ...
i remember this slab as having really spectacular figure.

that about wraps it up for today ... call to chat about any of these ...
no reasonable offer refused ...
my apologies about the formatting in this post ..
blogger seems to have changed something and i am out of the loop
