A recent commission by Xylos partner Richard Helgeson.

The customer wanted a small table to match an already completed dining table. Its function is for serving, and also display of glass collectibles and pottery. Illustrated below is the step by step process for this piece from initial conception to completed work.

Initial design sketch for serving table

Scale model, showing shaping and detailing. One half of the
model was built — the full image is being reflected in a mirror.

Dry assembly — the proportions and shapes are being continuously worked.

Shaping process — by hand and by eye.

The finished piece: 54" long x 15 " deep x 32" high; dyed lyptus and mahogany.
