Wood Tabletops
You can use custom or any of our standard floor wood medallions as a basis for tabletop design. Making a tabletop requires several important considerations to successfully use wood inlays in furniture. Depending on your project requirements, we offer several tabletop options:
- Unfinished, face-taped inlay with mesh-net backing (5/16" thick). This economical option is ideal for your furniture maker to embed into a custom base, apply finished edging, and complete the lacquered finish.
- Unfinished inlay, mounted on the plywood base of required thickness. Your furniture maker attaches it to the base. The marquetry can be routed into the base as well.
- Unfinished thick ready-made tabletop with finished edges. It can be mounted to another base or directly to legs.
A custom furniture maker approached us to develop an intricate pattern for a 90-inch table. This massive inlay featured a brass center element and multiple exotic woods. Due to its size, the inlay was made in segments to be precisely fitted by the maker onto their custom-built base. For the side apron, we crafted a very thin wood inlay border to allow for bending around the table's perimeter.

This tabletop presented several challenges that our craftsman had to overcome:
Using Brass requires the inlay to be glued to plywood substrate. Due to its size - it was impossible to make the entire tabletop as a single piece. We had to make a center portion of the design with brass as a rigid round piece. The remaining part of the tabletop we had to make in segments that are precisely cut to form a uniform surface. While floor medallions are more forgiving, furniture requires a much higher precision with no visible seams and gaps.
The second issue was the flexible apron. We had to make the inlay border in thinner, 4-5mm wood to allow for bending around the perimeter. We had to calculate an exact pattern repeat to assure a balanced, simmetrical design.
