This is my latest completed piece. I started designing it a few months ago using Sketchup. One of the great things about Sketchup is the ability to tweak things, look from multiple viewpoints, re-tweak, and keep repeating the process until you are satisfied. That can all be done without drawing the joinery and other details. Once the design is finalized, then the joinery and construction details can be added. It actually saves a lot of time in the long run, as mistakes in the shop are minimized. In the case of this table, the compound angles of the legs are easily determined in Sketchup, and then brought to the shop, making machinery set up much easier, and more accurate.
This picture is a rendered Sketchup drawing:
Here are photos of the completed table. I did change the length of the table a bit in the shop. The final dimensions are 60" x 12" x 29". The wood is curly cherry, and the finish is BioPoly NT from Earthpaint in Asheville, NC.
Questions, comments, and critiques are always welcome. Thanks for taking a look.
