Curly Maple And Cherry Sofa Table
Tables of these dimensions are generally referred to as "sofa tables" as it would go behind of the sofa to divide a room. In this case however it fits quite nicely against the wall. The curly maple is book matched. We were quite lucky to find this piece as the curl is spectacular. This is oftentimes referred to as tiger maple. It's also used for musical instruments and is generally considered softer than sugar maple. The joinery is floating mortise and tendon with the exception of the bottom shelf. The shelf actually is mounted as you would bread boards on the ends of a table. The top is approximately 1" thick. This particular example is 55" W X 14" D X 29 ½" H.

Meet the Maker

Lehigh Valley Woodworks
For nearly 30 years we have been making fine custom furniture. All of our creations are one-of-a-kind pieces using individually hand selected, local hardwoods.
At Lehigh Valley wood works we believe in creating classic furniture with a unique blend of both new and old techniques. The focus is on a blend of both form and function. For example, we use ball bearing slides rather than a web frame for drawers. The reason is it simply works better and will be more functional and durable.
We also use a combination of both hand tools and machinery. Again the best available tool for the job.
Since we focus on one-of-a-kind pieces each order will be discussed in detail to assure that all of our clients receive the very best products.
The pieces shown in our pictures are examples of some of the work we have done over the years. Keep in mind that a particular live edge piece is unique. Clients can choose from the type of wood squared edges or live edges etc. just let us know what your preferences are and we will accommodate them accordingly.
