   Since the article doesn't give a separate credit for the table it is almost certainly a custom design by the article's author, Andrew Gardiner.  If the magazine offered plans this would have been mentioned in the article.  Your best bet would be to contact the author directly, or to contact the editors at the magazine at [email protected].

   Thanks for the information John. I did send an email to Andrew Gardiner but haven't gotten a reply.

   Thanks again

   hi lwoody,

   I'll check with the editor of that article to see if she has any additional information.

   We should compare pics when we are done.

   My wife saw that table and that was it, and I am making it in July on my holidays Mine will be out of maple .

   I would be afraid to compare pics

   Riden,

   Can you build it from the pictures in the mag?  I think I need a plan, even with that I am a bit nervous.  My sister is thinking about bubinga.  Crips, one mistake, big money!!

   I hope

   I am no expert, but I am pretty confident I can do this. I'll follow the same principles as other tresle tables I have seen.

   What do you see as problematic?

   How much is bulbinga where you are?

   prediction

   I, too, like the look of the table on pg 59. I predict, however, that the open ends of the cleat slot will be problematic in terms of catching clothing, or worse, skin. I think I'd make a shallow plug to fill the gap, leaving enough room between the plug and the cleat to allow for seasonal movement of the top along the cleat.

   Sorry I am late responding: USA soccer

   Riden,

   Not sure about  bubinga cost, sister got the quote.  I will let you know.

   Ralph, Riden,

   Are the vertical portion of the legs two pieces?  Do you think the stretchers are bent?

   design elements

   "Are the vertical portion of the legs two pieces?  Do you think the stretchers are bent?"

   The verticals do appear to be two pieces - look at the grain pattern. They might be glued together, though, with a v-groove at the joint. The stretchers are cut on an arc, but probably not "bent" as such.

   OK

   The stretchers are not bent.

   Build the stretcher first from a straight board, cut your mortise and tenon with the upright (I doubt I will use through tenons, but I may add the detail after -ya it's fake-but it looks good). Then when you are done, cut the curve as you see fit.

   Uprights have to be two pieces, that would be one wide board otherwise.

   Thanks for the replies.  Looks like the stretcher is huge with two through tenons on each end.  I am sure I will have more questions as this proceeds.

   Thanks again

   Bought bubinga yesterday.  The cost here in Western South Dakota is $9.97 per bf.  The boards were a little over 14" wide.
