Japanese End Table

I created this Japanese-style end table as a woodworking course, but it is a great little table for a low-slung furniture plan. This Custom End Table is made from cherry and styled with a Japanese aesthetic.

One of the main inspirations for this design was the arch of a Torri Gate and the taper in the columns that hold the arch up. This translated into taper legs on the table and the lower arch that is flipped upside down from what you would see in a gate. However, the tabletop itself reflects the steep angle; you would see the ends of the top columns cut at an angle.

The table is made of cherry. It is 20″ tall, 20″ wide, and 13″ deep, but it can be customized to fit any size.

This table was built in our Denver Design Center.
