Bleached Mahogany Dining Table and 4 Chairs for Brown Saltman

I've featured pieces by John Keal a number of times on the blog.  His designs always showcase great details and quality materials and construction.  They are all destined to become mid-century classics.

This is one of the many designs by Keal that uses mahogany.  The straight, linear bands in the wood grain allow for some interesting designs and patterns.  Keal uses this to effect on the table.  The layup has the grain following the circumference of the table at the edges.  In the center of the main part of the table, the grain runs one direction.  On the leaves it runs perpendicular.  This has the colors of the wood shifting differently as you move around the table.  The top surface of the main table has been recently refinished, the remainder of the table and leaves are original.  The legs are of solid mahogany with brass tips.

Keal also added some interesting design details to the chairs.  The "captains" chairs do not really have arm rests but incorporate a sculpted handle.  All the wood components of the chairs are solid mahogany and have a lot of tapering and sculpting which results in a look that is more elegant than many designs.  The seating surface is a black vinyl with an embossed basketweave pattern.  One chair has a worn mark in the seat but otherwise the vinyl is soft and in great shape.
