Where can I buy a set of tables shapes like Tangram pieces?
I am looking for something like the set displayed at 
http://www.puzzleworld.org/PuzzleWorld/tangram_table.htm.
However, that is a Miniature Tangram Table (12x12x6 inches)
and I require a full sized coffee table (maybe 4 times as big).
Jerry Slocum in his puzzle book shows a picture of a rather ornate
tables (made in the 19th century?). However, Slocum says that 
this table is no longer available. I would like an ordinary sized
coffee table in Tangram shaped pieces. It should be sturdy and good
quality, but not necessarily ornate.

I am not looking for an authentic antique Tangram table.
I would prefer a new Tangram coffee table. Although I am open to
a used table if sturdy and in excellent condition.

My idea is to have a table that I can not only play puzzles 
on, but _with_. I can keep the tables arranged in a big square
or rectangle, or in any sort of tangram puzzle design. 
When entertaining guests, I can separate the 7 tables so that
everyone can help I place to put their things.

As far as price is concerned, I am flexible. It will depend on the
quality of the tables and the craftsmanship.

Authenticity? age? Do you mind
a reproduction? Do you have a price
limit?

Any carpenter of skill, or a furniture maker/cabinet maker can custom
make one of these tables for you. Coincidently, last nite I was
looking up tangram puzzles, because my husband is a cabinet maker,and
I thought he should make a bunch of sets as holiday gifts.
