Start of a modern end table

Here's the start of my latest project. It's a take on a modern end table. This is my own design but is definitely influenced by the stuff I've been looking at and been interested in lately. As usual, I'm going with walnut and using some cherry accents.

I started by milling my stock to dimension and making some bridle joints to form the legs. I formed the bridle joint by using my home made tennoning jig and band saw. Later I added a square cherry peg.









The next step is to add a dovetailed box to house a drawer that will be floated between the legs with either steel or copper standoffs. I'm still a bit undecided on the top. Originally I was thinking of just going with a solid walnut top, but I've had thoughts of doing a picture frame with a veneered center. Something's telling me that less is more in this situation and I should just go with the solid top.
