I love weird coffee tables  

That's
cool. Do you have the glass for it ?
Let's see more of your collection !

strongly resembles a lane kid...
strongly resembles a lane kidney table...but yours looks a lot nicer quality with a lot more wood surrounding the glass. google lane kidney table you will see what I mean.

I had a Lane
amoeba table, but I got tired of it and sold it. Here it is. While there are some similarities, it's not nearly as nice as the one I'm wondering about. The Lane table looks...well...wooden, while mine soars. Someone told me it's an Erno Fabry, but I don't think so. His style is very different. Yes, I do have the glass to it, but I took it out to photograph it.
I got this table, unbelievably, at the Salvation Army, which I haunt, looking to feed my coffee table habit. Ah, the thrill of the hunt...

Definitely weird
:

google lane kidney glass table you will find similar tables or if you google glass amoeba table you will find your table, have not found a designer or manufacturer but it strongly resembles the lane tables :/

Wow!
That mermaid table is gorgeous! I love the way her tail curves over the glass. Nice arm bracelet too. You've definitely got me beat for weirdness, but here's another one of mine.
Thanks, WaywardVintage, for the tip. I found the identical table on google too, but it wasn't identified. I would love to know. Oh well...
Any more great tables out there?

Brown Saltman
I picked up these two at a local shop for just about nothing, great quality. I sold the long one. I did gather some othe info on Brown Saltman as well.

I missed a saltsman to bad your missing the dark tinted glass. I personally hate the tinted glass and was going to replace the glass on mine for clear but oh well I should have paid the 26 bucks at auction for it. :S

Here's one for you
I've posted a picture of this before but I don't think I owned up to building it.
I made it from an old slab of black walnut someone gave me that had some fairly big splits in it and I had almost sliced it up into nice neat boards at one point. The dutchmen are out of rosewood and the legs were turned out of black walnut also.

Very nicely done.

Brent, that's a beautiful...
Brent, that's a beautiful table! Great work. Can I ask how you finished it?

Thanks
I brushed on satin polyurethane and then polished it with 0000 steel wool to take the sheen down a notch.

That's perfectly
lovely, Brent. A fine job; the tri-leg form with turned stretchers is remarkably rare, I think. Your legs are a subtle variation, and the butterfly Dutchmen are nicely chosen -- another seldom-seen shape ?
I use poly finishes increasingly. I'm happy to learn how to get a result like the one on your table. How many coats did you apply before the final rub -- and did you have to flatten your brushwork by block-sanding first ?
