This is a simple modern looking end table that I came up with. I ripped the 7/4 Mohagny at a 45 degree angle to create the triangle shaped legs. Then ran them over my dado blade on the table saw. The shelf and top are birch plywood. I trimmed the edges of the plywood at a 45 to match the dados in the legs. I then used some Elmers Wood Glue to join pieces and clamped it together. Sanded and finished with clear semi-gloss? polyurethane finish.

I like it; interesting lines, very clean design. You don’t see many woodworkers building furniture from plywood, but why not? It’s a stable product and if you chose the right grade suitable for furniture making.

Very nice, Tim.

I like how you wrapped the shelves around the legs. Very cool

Looks functional. Function trumps form, in my book.

If you saw that in one of those ritzy Danish-modern furniture stores, they’d probably want about $500 for it! :-)

Nice looking table. I like how you cut the legs for the top to fit.
