Both tables are quite attractive. The first is more free-form to my eye and the second more elegant and restrained. The floating top on 2nd is really nice. I wonder if the process for the 2nd was less 'experimental' than the 1st, the latter incorporating straight lines vs. curved and carved nature. Did you 'see' the final result more completely in your mind's eye in the earlier stages of the 2nd?
Masterful work. Thanks for sharing.
