I did see one I liked that is made
from rosewood, an open table top design, I liked the feeling of space.

I think I was discussing this type of thing with Cheryl, not too long ago....
When I was in Okinawa, the "in" display thingy was a hibachi table, with the
copper-lined box used as the display area, and a glass or plexiglass piece cut
to fit to replace the original top. Common items in the displays: sea shells on
beach sand, chopstick rests on rice, origami figures, temari.
