This small table started as an experiment in form rather than a commission. I shaped the back of each leg into a soft oar profile with a spokeshave, and arranged the stock so the pale streak in the grain carries down the leg.
I hollowed the underside of the top with a router and refined it with a spokeshave, and sculpted the top edges by power sanding and spokeshave. The legs join the top with floating mortise and tenons. I've left it unfinished so the raw poplar shows the shaping as it is.
