Handcrafted Coffee Table | Mahogany, Maple & Black Walnut with glass top | Cathedral Dome–Inspired Joinery | No-Metal Construction

Built by Designed and built by Trey DeWolf, a fourth-year student at the American College of the Building Arts in Charleston, SC, where he studied under three European master carpenters, two of which graduated from “ De Compagnonnage” considered one of the oldest and most rigorous educational systems for forming master artisans in Europe rooting back to the middle ages.

Inspiration The design is inspired by interlocking timber frame joints found in cathedral dome construction. The curved, interdependent structural members form a complex geometric rib structure, unified to make a remarkably strong geometric whole. Trey translated those principles into furniture scale, creating a striking base with layered hardwood arches that lock together without a single metal fastener. The hardwoods were selected specifically for contrast: Mahogany’s warm depth, Maple’s brightness, and Black Walnut’s rich tone work together to emphasize the sweeping, dome-like geometry.

Dimensions and material Dimensions: 48 inches in diameter, 14 inches tall Wood base 24 lbs, Glass top 45 lbs Materials: Mahogany, Hard Maple, Black walnut, and a tempered glass top. Construction: No metal fasteners, only traditional joinery, shaped and fitted. Finish: Hand-sanded and finished with a natural oil to highlight the contrast and depth of each hardwood.
