This is really one of my first woodworking project since I started it in highschool (15 years ago!), although I didn’t finish it until about 7 years after (8 years ago). I started the legs in highschool not having any idea how much work they would be. After highschool I didn’t feel I had the tools or skills to finish it properly. I originally wanted to do a solid top but at the time I though that a simple frame with a bronzed glass insert would be easier and cheaper.
It’s not perfect but it’s solid and it looks pretty nice in my parents living room!

I also clicked to comment on the legs. Looks like a sporty dog’s legs. Really neat.

I suppose they could break if someone sat on the table. they’re pretty sturdy though. they are black walnut. Keep in mind I had no idea what I was doing really when I first cut the blanks at the young age of 16… so far so good!

Greg, I think that the legs look great. Now that you finally got around to using them you have a nice table. Good job!!!
