Side table
Jun 05, 2018
Side table in solid ash, rosewood veneered side hung drawers. Main goal with this build was to make a thin elegant table with minimum amount of visible joints. Of course there are lots of joints but it should appear as carved out of one block of wood with tangent transitions in all corners. Legs are also acting as side aprons, see detailed pic. Drawers are opened through slot in under side, aiming to have the drawers as invisible as possible. Design and idea is my own.

very nice. What's the joint between the lower surface (under the drawers) and the sides? dowels? dados? Did you consider a miter joint between the top and sides to hide the end grain of the top?
Thanks! The legs are joined to the lower surface with loose tenons, the surface between the legs with dominos. Here's a pic that should describe half of it https://www.byggahus.se/forum/attachments/65-jpg.241820/
Yes I considered mitered edges, but I wanted this edge rounded and a miter would give two "semi end grain" surfaces and also when making the round after glue up I would not know what would show up inside the miter.
Complete build info in link below, >100 pics, it's in swedish but pictures are understandable in all languages:) I had to start over on the leg part, the second attempt out of 60*60mm lumber and all rounds template routed after glue up.
