a bridges coffee table

we shipped this one out to california last week ... per the clients request, it is a 24" x 48" coffee table version of our bridges bench.  i almost like it better than the original, and since it was completed, i have also had a request to interpret the design as a dining table base.  i dont know if that will go through or not, but it could be interesting if it does ... scalable, i think is the  word ... bench to a coffee table, to a dining table, to a ... a bridge?  click the photos to enlarge them.

 heres the original, from the bennington museum show, state of craft  .. 50 years of craft in vermont.

 

cad drawing .. we actually used the same form from the bench, which was the same height as the coffee table ..
