Hallway Table with Drawer

 This table features a slim depth for use against a wall in a hallway, a small drawer for keys/wallets/mail, etc and a lower display shelf for a vase or collectible. It is made from mahogany, with a curly maple drawer front wrapped in ebony and a curly maple lower shelf. Mortise and tenon joinery hold all the aprons and lower rails to the legs, while the tabletop is attached using removable shop made wooden brackets.
