Evolution

The leg shape has been settled upon and executed in oak. See how the table flairs from the ground up like a tree? It wasn't conceived in the original sketch pictured below, but evolved by playing around with the mockup. Although the base is not glued together yet, friction fit tenons hold everything in place. Now I'm on to the drawer assembly. Opted for a frame and panel style utilizing the "mystery wood" from my earlier post as the side and back panels and drawer front.  I'm going for a drawer that floats in the middle.  Who says the drawer has to be located directly under the top?
