Small side table with flared ends.

nice simple clean look.i like the contrast of the woods.

Beautiful! Very nice lines and color contrast.

I know larch as "softwood" that grows in the northeast US and SW Canada, a close relative of douglas fir. Is this the same or different? I put that in quotes because douglas fir is fairly hard and quite strong.

I like the feet on your legs. Can you describe the joinery you used and how you get the joint smooth all around?

I like the leg treatment with the taper and the feet. I also like the unique shape of the top. It is just different enough to give it a nice look.

Very nice!

But about the Nth time I'd get bit by those corners I'd be rounding them or making kindling. I will not abide a vicious side table!

The Larch I used is a European softwood, considered close to hardwood in properties. It's usually light-colored, but with treatment (I am not sure if heat or chemical) it goes dark.

Before I tapered the legs with my taper jig (the one from FW), I simply connected a block of oak with a 13mm dowel. Then, after I tapered the legs, you can't see the joint.
The rest of the leg joinery is standard mortise and tenon (I have a pantorouter for that). The top, originally a single piece that was pretty bowed, I cut in half, jointed, and reglued with Lamelo biscuits. Then the ends I angled and also glued with biscuits to the central part.

Madmark, I too usually round corners. These are also rounded slightly, by hand, and won't give a tall toddler too much of a headache. I felt here, that too much rounding will ruin the effect.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Avi,

Love the design and the legs are over the top! Nice work.

The photos with the black background really make this project 'pop'.

If I saw this in person I would have to wander over and check it out!

Nice project!
