Small table design help

[Bert Johansen]

My better half has asked for a small table for our entry area, and I spent the weekend scouring old copies of FWW and a plethora of other woodworking mags, but still haven't found a design I like. Help!

Here are some of her guidelines:

NOT Federal style (too formal).

NOT Mission style (too informal)

NOT Shaker style (too plain)

Maybe Queen Anne legs . . .

Maybe cherry with holly stringing . . .

Anybody know of a book with designs that might help here???

Thanks! :D

What about a nice drop leaf? Maybe a round drop leaf with the back leaf down and the front up? You could do either a pedistal or legs. :cool:

Bert,
Click the link below to David Marks site. He built this Demilune table on one of his shows. He has plans for sale on his site or you can go to DIYnet.com and see how he did it. I made one for our entry hall, lot of fun to make and just the right size for our hall.
