Salvaged steel and walnut coffee table

[rvieceli]

Finished up another coffee table a little while ago. Local black walnut top and feet. Salvaged wide flange beam for the base. Adjustable feet for those uneven floors. Lots of inlay work.  A couple of different techniques from the last one. It’s available if any one is interested  [big grin]

You weren't kidding about the inlays

So how much does that weight? Can two people pick it up? Hard to judge size without a reference.

^^ This.

I've seen some pretty massive girders in my time, curious the overall dimensions as well!

It's a beautiful piece! Love those layered inlays. What did you use to finish the steel beam?

Nice work Ron...absolutely love the inlays.  [smile]

Thanks

Top is about 1.75 thick and it is 17.5 high, 46 long, 22 wide at the wide end, 18 wide at the narrow end

A friend of mine has a body shop and I get him to clear coat it for me.

I think the beam is a W 12 x 26 so about 75 or so pounds. I can pick it up enough to put it on a 4 wheel dolly.  [eek] My wife and I can move it around and put it in the trailer. Although she doesn’t like to.  [big grin]

My son could do it by himself but then I could too when I was 35.

"Lots of inlay work." Absolutely the understatement of the week. It looks great.
