    Beautifully constructed from spalted curly maple, this Asian table has sweeping legs that join the top with integral tenons cut in two sections at the top of each leg. For strength and design, a cross stretcher spans both legs and adds to the overall Asian flare. The tabletop is also crated from two solid boards of maple. The maple boards are joined with decorative butterfly tenons, made of pernambuco wood, that resemble two dovetails cut back to back.
