Free Woodworking Plan: Build a Splay-Legged Table
Sooner or later, most woodworkers will grow tired of producing the same old straight legs on their tables. For those craftsman and women out there ready to take their skills up a notch, this small table offers an excellent lesson in the production of legs that not only splay outward, but taper as well.
With subtle details like cockbeading around the underside of all four aprons and an under-beveled top that fools the eye into thinking it’s thinner and lighter than it really is, Garrett Hack’s Splay-Legged Table oozes gracefulness.
Word to the wise-take a stab at Garrett’s techniques now, because we’re hard at work on a new Video Workshop series that might be incorporating similar techniques!

I built this table in sept, 09.I built it from the article and used the same technique for the legs.It worked like a charm and the table turned out beautiful.It was my first real project.
My wife has seen the PDF I downloaded:
"That'll make a nice bedside table" says she.
I guess I'm building a couple of Splay-legged Tables then
:)
The wood for the legs is not familiar to me, does anyone know what Garret is using for the legs?
The Wood Garrett used is Walnut
