A small project to test the feasibilty of using Domino tenons to attach legs to a table top, avoiding the need for stretchers or buttons.

The top is kept flat with breadboard ends and the 'hooped' rail eliminates racking, but leaves room for legs under the desk.

There is enough play in the curved legs to accept seasonal movement in the top.

The tabletop is Australian ironbark; the legs and feet are blackbutt.
