Little dining table - KC - 01-09-2021
44" round cherry table for the smallish dining room in the retirement house. Legs splayed at 5 degrees, just shy of 1-7/8 with a 7/8 radius roundover on all four edges. Looking back, I should have turned these with a bit of taper to he bottom, or used a 1" radius roundover. Still look a bit too 'square' for me, even tho I intended to leave them square altogether at the beginning. Top is something close to 1-1/8 thick, with 7/8 roundover above and chamfer below. Attached with Rockler fasteners. The apron profile is similar to Stickley side table I saw in Old House magazine (legs were square on that one).
I whipped up a prototype out of MDF to verify I liked the angles, and because I KNEW I'd screw up the compound miters on the legs if I didn't 'practice'. That was time well spent.
I'll be ordering #5 slatback chair kits from Shaker Workshops (their picture). I think they'll go nicely with the 'simple' design of the table. Thanks for taking a peek.

No apologies need for the legs on that very stylish table. I think they go really well with the overall design. Nicely done.

Love it, looks like building the prototype paid off!

what every one has already said nice table
i also build a prototype of some projects usually just from scrap
seems to help me with decision making of sizes angles ETC
i have made table prototypes with four different size legs just to see what was liked best
that come out very nice for you

Really like that table. Clean and comfortable-looking.
Also like the choice of ladderback chair.

Nice table, KC.
Can you let us know about the quality of those chair kits?

Thank you. I'll do a thread about the chairs when they come, probably early next month.

Nice table. Beautiful work. I also like the choice of chairs. I'm not bothered by the legs. However, I'll make a suggestion in the event you decide to turn them. I would start the taper just below the skirt leaving the rounded square from there up. This would allow the rounded square to gradually transition to a round cross section as it goes to the bottom. This would also keep you from having to change any joinery you have to the table top.
