Very nice design and great looking wood. Well done and welcome to Lj’s.

Great job, how did you fasten the legs to it? Any chance of more pics/ I would love to see the grain patterns.

very nice…does it need to lean on the wall or does it stand on its own? especially on the carpet…

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the kind words regarding the table. I’m just learning and experimenting, probably very unconventional in my selection of techniques.

The legs are attached by using a mortise / tenon type joint. I routed a 1/2 slot for each leg and used Titebond yellow glue. I then used some of the left over mahogany and made two corbel, one for each side. These are screwed into the leg and to the bottom of the table top. As long as I don’t move it a lot I’m expecting it to remain stable.

Napaman,

No, it does not need to lean on the wall. It is very well balanced, even on the carpet.
