The top for this piece came from one outstanding board of cherry, which was then resawn and bookmatched.
After several mockups, the client and I agreed that the best way to avoid a large overhang for the tabletop would be for the legs to actually come through the top itself. The notches are softened slightly, and a gap around the legs allows the solid wood top to move as it needs to.
Stretchers are held in place with socketed tenons, and protrude slightly through the cross-rail.
Drawer pull of Texas Ebony, drawer bottom of Olive.

This piece was built for a client who wanted a coffee table with a few nice, little details, but didn’t want to “bump into it.” The result is a table with a small overhang, curved and resawn stretchers, and a small drawer.
