For the last several years I've been making a series of small, fun and low-cost tables. Many tables incorporate colorful inlaid koi fish, butterflies or similar objects floating on striking-grained veneer tops. Other tables are solid with "whimsical" designs inlaid in them. When guests come over and pull up a chair just plop one of these down beside them for their drink.  Or use anytime for displaying flower arrangements.

All tables are finished with multiple coats of shellac/varnish followed with wax. They stand on silicon rubber feet.
