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.
