The Three Graces Side Table

Cool is not the word I would use to decribe this table, Beautiful is more like it. Very nice work.

Hello, I think this is a great piece. I’m going to build a small table with three legs soon. It will have stretches that go up at an angle similar to yours. How did you join the stretchers to the legs? It seems like a very delicate manuever to make tenons at compound angles. Very curious to know how you pulled that off so well. Thanks.

Outstanding work!

Furnitude – This was purely luck and patience. There are no tenons involved. I made the legs and then hot glued them to a base in the proper configuration. Then, just eyeballed the stretchers and kept shaping until they had a good fit and then just epoxyed them to the legs. Since this table is not going to be under any stress, other than just holding itself up, I didn’t worry about tenons and the strength they provide. Thanks, everyone for your comments!

I love the treatment of the legs. That color is splendid. It’s more sculpture than table, so I don’t think the instability is a negative:)

I am really liking this table! You have really done a great job at combining classic curves with a modern feel.

Thanks for posting,

A very beautiful table and absolutely an art piece too. I can see why it’s not too stabile with the legs not having the same diameter as the top, but that is what gives it such a ‘graceful’ look. The workmanship is also extremely good. My guess is that this little table is a lot more difficult to make than meets the eye. Bravo!

Very nice table. I like the finish on the legs and the use of marble; they provide a great contrast.

Great work.

Great design and “cool to look at” I definitely agree!

That is amazing. I love the design. put a rod through those marbles, a little tap and die work… and voila! kid proof

Ok maybe not so much. Still love it.
