Making a Sam Maloof Inspired Coffee Table

This coffee table was inspired by an original Sam Maloof dining table I found online. I did my best to draw it up in CAD which allowed me to cut out exact templates on the CNC router. I used heavy roundovers for the bulk of the shaping but used rasps, files, and sandpaper for the finer details.

The table is solid quarter sawn sapele I had leftover from the large apothecary chest build. I used 5 coats of thinned wipe-on poly for the finish.

Thanks for watching!
