A beautiful, functional table with a fascinating combination of materials. Really eye-catching and well-built. Great details. Thanks for posting the photographs.
A lot of love went into this project. I have long legs and large feet; I don't think that your table would be user-friendly for the likes of me.
John,
i'm really stoked on your exaggerated swooping forms in the stretcher pieces and the drastic angled dovetails. i am sometimes hesitant to use certain forms in my own designs because they are not typically seen in traditional woodworking. i feel like you "give me permission" to let my creativity run free (as long as it's structurally sound, of course).
and the dovetails are great. i've been fascinated by the dovetail ever since i first learned about it in my first woodworking class.
thanks for the post.
josh.
