Folks,
I'm working on a coffee table for Son #1. He gave me a design to use, but it was very minimalist as you can see in the link
Coffee Table
He just wants a top and a shelf. I've already tried to spruce up the top and shelf by routing a profile underneath to make them look lighter and I radiused the ends; I'm happy so far. I originally didn't think the slanted legs looked good in the diagram, so I went for tapered legs. Now, I think they look too plain and I'm open to ideas from the Woodnet community on ways to spruce them up a bit.
One last fact, I'm on a deadline because he's moving out of the area this summer. Redoing the whole thing is not an option.
Thanks,
Mark
