Japanese Low Table in Spalted and Wormy Maple.  The square center stretcher pierces the Temple Bell-shaped end panels and radiates a diamond tenon with hidden interconnections. The unusual characteristics and discoloration in the wood are caused by a combination of decay and insect damage over a period of time.  The top and end panels are made of three pieces. The larger highly figured center section was selected first and the smaller outside pieces were carefully grained matched into place.

The table dimensions: Length 44″ x Width 15″ x Height 15″

The table features details taken from early Japanese Architecture. I loved the idea of the center stretcher being square and as it passed thru the end panel and transitions to a diamond on the outside of the piece.  A bit Zen in concept. In tradition western furniture a trestle style table would have an exposed key to lock it in place.  But in this piece, I used a blind dowel rod driven down from the top of the end panel to fasten the stretcher in place.  For more information please enjoy the link from the June 2018  issue of Architectural Digested on Spalted Wood.
