I designed and built this corner table to fill a niche in my living room. It's patterned very loosely on a Shaker design I saw at Pleasant Hill last summer.
Construction is all mortise and tenon.
Dimensions are 24" high; long sides of the top are 20" X 20", and the short sides are 8½". Legs are inside tapered on the lower 16".
Finish is Transtint Medium Brown, followed by a Van Dyke Brown (from crystals) wash; then a couple coats of de-waxed garnet shellac, sanded to 220 and followed up with numerous (I didn't count) coats of General Finishes "Enduro" water-borne lacquer.
BTW, the cantilevered jewelry box on top of the table is one that I made in 2009. It got a blue ribbon at the Canfield, Ohio fair.
Oh, yeah. That last picture is Shana, my shop helper.
