I was very impressed with the design of the table that was discussed in Woodworker’s Journal Apr 08. so wanted to build it. I modified the design to fit my space. A square design wouldn’t work too well as there is foot trafic on both ends and I wanted to maximize the space if possible. So that resulted in the back legs being 9 inches wider than the front legs and the curved top not being symetrical. Not being square made assemble more difficult. The top is maple stained natural and the legs are ipe stained with ebony. Still working on improving my finish, but am reasonably happy with the finish and like the design.

The idea was to use it for holding some plants, but not sure I want plants on it.

Regards,

Al

Nice lines!

I have just been contemplating a desing like this. My mother requested a table for a similar space, and she wants rounded corners so she and my dad (79 & 80) aren’t constantly bruising themselves. I was wondering how it would look if the two front legs were closer together than the rear legs. You have shown that it can look very good!

i saw the original article and design too. I like they way you modified the design. i wasn’t real impressed with the ash in the original being paired with bubinga, but the the way you paired the natural maple and ebonized ipe is great.
great job.

Very Nice. I like it. Like Charlie, I always wondered if that leg treatment would work. It looks great.
