Nesting Tables to accompany the previous project Coffee Table





Client wished for a table to tuck under the sofa or sit at the end and when not in use to be stackable.
Used cherry with mesquite accents. Mortise and tenon joints pinned and pegged. Finished with watco oil and hand rub varnish. The sizing is based on conventional tv tray but customized for the client and their sofa. Used 7/8 cherry for the legs and corbels. 3/4 for crosspiece and top. All in all it was a quick build using leftover wood from previous projects.

Corbles band sawed and finished with drum sanding. Used a handy template to form the bow ties with a plunge router and plenty of double sided tape. Inlayed mesquite strips along side the breadboard ends. Decided not to turquoise inlay.



Tested before delivery.

I'm a bit surprised that a Luddite would be using all those power tools, but you sure did a nice job of it.
