This is the first time I’ve built something from a plan. It’s nice having someone else figure out all of the details for me and it reduced the number of mistakes that I made.
I ventured out of my comfort zone on this one. In the past I’ve used Festool Dominos (loose tenons) in lieu of mortise and tenons. This time I made the mortise and tenons. I cut the tenons on the table saw and used a drill press and chisels to cut out the mortises. I’m starting to get the hang of this woodworking stuff.
Wood: walnut (finished with teak oil) and curly maple (unfinished).
The plan is from Wood Magazine, Sept. 2011 (#206).

This is really beautiful – nicely done. I love the design. Can you share where you got the plan?

Nicely done. I want to build a couple but I don’t want to use walnut/curly maple. Maybe just cherry for both the base and top. Still trying to visualize that piece.
Do you plan to finish the curly maple with a blond finish of some kind?

Table looks great. I have been thinking I should make this ever since I got the magazine in the mail. Just have to figure out where to put it once it is built.

The lines of this piece are well proportioned. I love the legs. Great job.
