Tables
in many shapes, styles
and functions
Gerrybuilt tables share the same
basic construction techniques although they may vary greatly in
appearance.
Tables are
assembled using mortise and tenon joints and the table tops are secured
to the leg and
apron assembly with metal fasteners allowing for the natural expansion
and
contraction of the tops.
Optional
drawers are dovetailed together and slide smoothly on waxed wood
runners rather than using hardware.
The "Gigi"
Table (right) is a wonderful piece for a hall or entryway, or for
placing next to
a sofa.

Basic
Table Design
The basic Gerrybuilt table features
legs with an outside taper, and a table top with an underside bevel.
These elements were chosen to give the
table's lines an upward movement
and a sense of lightness. Though delicate in appearance, its solid wood
construction
makes it a very strong table.
This side
table can
be made in the appropriate dimensions for placement next to a futon, a
bed
or a sofa.

These same basic
elements, correctly proportioned, can combine nicely in tables of any
size.
Many people
enjoy having a writing table rather than a desk. The desk table (right)
can be suited to your specific needs - the height of your chair, the
size of your computer monitor, etc. A small central drawer can be
placed in the apron for
storage of pens, paper clips and the like.
A larger
version of this table would be suitable for dining.

Coffee,
anyone?
Why do we
call these low tables "coffee" tables anyway? Whether used as a
footrest, a dining table
or a display area for your favourite photography books, these
multi-purpose tables make lovely additions to any living room.
Gerrybuilt
coffee tables enjoy the added protection of polyurethane on the top,
allowing them to take the occasional abuse of the dreaded coasterless
cup (though this is
not recommended!)
