Coffee table design modified from photo
Inspired by a photo of my in-laws coffee table, I decided to go for the challenge of creating the cabriole legs and hand carving the ball and claw feet. I added two hand carved shells on the long side of the aprons for accents. Thanks to the advice of Fine Woodworking staff and Knots discussion forum, I used a multi-step finish schedule that I believe provided some interesting depth to the finished product.
Design or Plan used: My own design
