This table is now in San Francisco. I am going to see if the designer has shots taken since the project was complete. The designer managed to find a 3/4″ thick glass top. I enjoy traditional challenges.

Completely hand made. Knowing how to break down a form into small parts enables a carver to carve pretty much anything.
