Beautiful work, Steve!

[Jamie Buxton]

Yes, that must have been tricky. Care to detail out the joinery, and how you did it?

[Bill McNiel]

OK, I'm fully impressed. Tell us more please.

371955The angled joints at the legs and the square ones at the rails were all joined using the Domino 700 with the dominoes being about 7” long as I recall. A lot of hand work with rasps after roughing out on bandsaw and 4-1/2” grinder. Of course a lot of sanding also. My finish of choice is typically conversion varnish.
The top you’d expect to be glass to really show off the base but in this case it was Rosewood veneer (clients preference) about 42” x 105” x 1-1/4” thick

Excellent job Steve!

[William Fretwell]

Lovely. What is the base for the veneer? It makes sense with the dominoes.

Top was 3/4 Baltic Birch ply with 1/4” mdf on both faces

Are the angled joints secured with just one domino per joint? Or did you use several per joint?

[Joe Kendal]

Wow, I love that base, very nice job

I just saw this question. Sorry. I only had room for one 14mm x 5-3/4” domino per leg. There are two the same size in each end of the rails . Thanks for the compliments
