Lounge Table
Originally a custom order it is now part of the permanent collection, featuring the 'Cloud Lift' motif.
This table measures 44" wide by 22" deep by 18" high. The lower shelf measures 81/2" wide.
The Lounge Table: Co-designed with Steve Boussiere, boatbuilder and owner of The Little Boat Shop, this table has some "nautical" features. Aside from the obvious use of teak and mahogany the top features a technique called "apparent thickness" or a gentle "fairing off" of the underside of the tabletop. A gentle arc is created that follows the lines of the "Cloud Lift Motif". As for the name of the table, Steve is also an instructor of improvisational Jazz, so this table now resides with his piano in his "Soprano Lounge".
Made with patterned mahogany and teak with a hand rubbed finish of (8) coats of tung oil and varnish.

Floating Stone Woodworks is a custom furniture shop in New Bedford, Massachusetts specializing in handcrafted tables, bookcases, consoles, case pieces and benches. Every piece of furniture is built and finished individually. The joints are precision cut and hand fitted. The finish is hand rubbed oil and varnish or French polished shellac. Each piece is signed and dated. I use only locally grown hardwoods—quarter-sawn white oak, cherry, maple and walnut. I don’t use plywood or veneers and limit the use of imported woods, such as mahogany and teak. The boards for each piece are carefully selected to match figure, pattern and grain. If desired, I will show the lighter shaded “sapwood” in cherry and walnut tabletops because of the wonderful color patterns it creates.
