The table in all essences will use all the strategies of good design to produce a work that isfunctional, and beautiful. I'm rather inclined to use wood. My dad has taught me a great deal of great wood finishing, and having all the tools to complete i feel this would be my stronghold. I also believe that wood is a beautiful source to use in design. It's natural, warm; it has character, texture. And it connects on a prime evil level with the viewer. A combination of base materials, such as metal, glass, and wood would best fit the kind of design i want to portray.
