Would a 4x4 cnc table size do it Scott, or is that coffee table bigger than 4' . Making a coffee table on a cnc is something I never would have thought about .
The creativity would certainly be endless
Not sure if your coffee table would require tabs or such to keep the glass from shifting (one on each side, or an angle thingy on each corner) or not. The desk I saw had more flat surfaces, so the glass did not shift easily at all. I would get a piece of glass that will fit the whole top, and see if it will shift or stay put, before making any changes.
I would also get with a nearby glass shop, and see what their glass sizes are. Talk nice, and they should definitely work with you. Even the small town I live close to has a glass shop, and when I went in to see if I could get some scrap plate glass for Scary Sharp, they not only gave me some, but cut it, and didn't charge a cent. Nice people. And I was talking with the owner, not one of his crew.
Anyway, ask about sizes (they should be able to cut a large pane to sizes you want). You may have to make minor size changes to lessen waste, or may get lucky and they can cut a sheet up to sizes you can use with no waste at all.
I really like your table. I once saw a table in a shop in Bandon, OR that I really liked it was a stream bed with fish and the artist work on painting the fish looked great but it was scary expensive. It was covered by glass.
Not sure about the better wood and carving time relationship. We have very little wood in Alaska.. every thing is shipped in I would have to leave that test up to others.
Would a harder wood carve quicker and cleaner..?
