This was one of those "harder than it seemed" type projects.  The table needed to be visually light, but be very ridged even with a 3/4" sheet of glass and full set of table ware on top.  It was made of Hard Maple and Jatoba.  Poly/stain on the maple legs and Tung oil on the Jatoba stretcher.  It's made hollow with 3/4" stock reinforced with biscuits.  Joints are reinforced with lapped and stacked baltic birch to fill the inside.  They can't be seen from these photos, but the mitered joints of the legs are accented with inlayed 1/4" hand-cut moldings with a "W" pattern to give the piece some life.  When it was done I was able to sit on top and rock back and forth in all directions with no noticable flex.
