“Table For One Drink” – A Custom End Table
Occasionally I get some very unusual and interesting requests for custom furniture pieces. Here is one I have been meaning to post. Back in December 2011 I completed a very small custom “Table For One Drink” (an end table) for some new customers in New York City. They wanted a table with a top only large enough to hold one drink. The base is carved FSC sustainable cherry, a smaller variation on a side table I did years ago. The table is 19″ high, and the top is a 5″ x 8″ oval in dark green Vermont Verde Antique marble from Rochester, Vermont.
This was a fun piece to design and build (and to deliver – the owners of the new table have a truly amazing art collection!), and I was very fortunate to find a great stone fabricator to make the table top. I really love this verde marble. It only comes from one spot in Vermont, a small quarry in Rochester, right over the mountain from me. It has beautiful rich green tones, with lots of depth and detail when taken to a fine polish. I’m totally hooked on it, so stay tuned for more designs from me using this marble.
