small end table for a friends wife
for here reading chair
black walnut
lacquer finnish
the table is
12” wide x 26” long x 24” tall
i was concerned about it being ‘top heavy’
so came up with this offset leg
as i didn’t want it to look straight and boxy
i had the lower shelf
the same size as the top
but cut it back
as it looked like big ears sticking out
all around
i like it this way better
as the top and shelf
taper down
and the legs taper up
nice change
as i don’t get notices with my new satellite server address yet
i won’t answers but occasionally when i can log on
and also wish to pardon myself
for not commenting on all your posts either
as i don’t get notifications from my buddies either
the ones i have commented on
have been found just stumbling around here
thank you for looking

That’s a great design. I tend to have things come out looking too boxy, and you found a great solution!
Thanks for posting.

I like the clever way you canted the lower end of the legs. That not only added stability but it made this table unique. I am a fan of including the sapwood as you did but many folks consider it waste. Nice table all around.

Beautiful table David, the walnut is spectacular, and I love what you did with the legs, brings some strong character to the piece.

Nice table, David. It looks perfect for the space it was needed in. I like the sapwood edges.

the top and shelf edge’s are bevel cut
to match the legs angle
giving it a certain ‘flair’
here are other alternate cuts for the legs
(of many)
they are just straight pieces
so as not to waste wood
