A couple weeks ago, I asked here for some help with this table design, for the lower shelf. I really wasn't fond of the notches the clients current table (freinds) had, and wanted to go a different route, but ended up going that way anyway. I put those stretchers closer to the back of the leg, and overhung the lower shelf slightly, to try and match the look of the top, without extending past the edge of the leg. A few things to note. The client required the bottom shelf 11.25" off the floor for basket storage, they also required the towel bar. That out of the way, table is all solid maple with an aluminum rod. All floating mortise and tenon joinery, done with a DIY mortise and tenon jig that I actually made mid-way through this project, lol. Top is laminated 2" strips of 8/4 maple. Final dimensions of table are 60" x 16" x 36" (lwh). Top and shelf will be attached with z-clips.
Just about finished sanding, couple more touch ups, next is the dreaded finishing stage. Client wants the base painted white, top/shelf to be left natural. I have another white painted project coming up, so I decided to order a sprayer (Fuji Semi-Pro 2) and try that route. We shall see how that goes, I will be looking for advice on spraying finish next.
Full Album (so far):
