Jim describes his piece influenced by Thomas Moser influenced by Asian design.  In this table, Jim included some tricky joinery and bowed cross pieces.  Some of this is mindful of a piece that Jim helped me with.  That was  a cabinet that is suspended from a table that uses a similar cross-frame structure and "inverted" legs. 

I remember Jim and me visiting a Thomas Moser showroom in Boston and marveling over his designs and workmanship.  While my piece was designed from the Mission style, Jim has taken his piece to the East with airy, delicate, and aesthetic features.  For a description of the piece by Jim click Asian Influence Table.
