The zen inspired tryde coffee table

Submitted by Danny on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 15:07

So I wanted a coffee table for my new apartment and couldn't find one I liked so I decided to build one. I wanted a zen theme for my new place so I took this plan and put a twist on it. I built it basically to plan and then carved out some Asian symbols and filled them with Woods metal. I sanded down the inlays, stained the table, distressed it, carefully cleaned up the symbols and then added a couple coats of poly. Came out pretty cool!

What a lovely, custom and unique piece you have now. What do the symbols mean?
