our cameras look at things differently
than we do

I’m impressed with the table but was confused as to why you would be working on a veterinarian’s horse… then I remembered you are an equine vet!

Either way the shelf under the main table top is really cool! Wish I could offer more…

That is one really nice table Andy. I know what you mean about trying to get realistic photos. Regardless of the photos the table looks great.

Andy, I really like anything done with a slab & or live edge lumber. This one is a masterpiece, keep it up!!!!! Great Great design. I have a bookmatched walnut slab for a table to do this winter but still ponderin excactly how I am going to do the pedestals/legs.

-- Jack R. Ellis

Andy, the table looks great. I love the design of the legs and the use of the shelf. Did you use regular dowels through the top or are they miller dowels? The legs have the look and feel of George Nakashima. They give it the sort of a modern feel while still featuring the beauty of the wood.

Tim, I don’t know what a miller dowel is but at any rate these are plugs covering the 3” deck screws! I didn’t want any wobble and decided screws would draw things together tighter than dowels. The leg on the wide end is attached to the shelf the same way. I hated doing it this way but sometimes ya gotta compromise yer principles! Thanks everyone for the interest and comments (but no one has said anything about the ‘gussets’).

I have never been a fan of live edge furniture, not even Nakashima’s. But I got to say I do like yours, it has a sort of harmony that worked really well. You chose very well the supports and the gussets do add an elemnt of design not often seen. Well done!

-- Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.
