Beatiful work there. Is that a inlay along the bottom edge ?Getting started.
I recently finished building a federal style card table loosely patterned after the plan in FWW issue #59, "Federal Card Table" by Michael Dunbar. That table in turn is based on a piece from the period, thought to be from Baltimore.

I still consider myself a newbie, and was shocked at how well the finished table came out! Now I'm going to make a second table with a few improvements. If you'd like to follow along I can promise you that we will take an interesting and unconventional path which will only require a modest set of tools and skills.
Let's get started!

Yup, a stock inlay strip. Quite easy (and inexpensive) to do actually. I'll do another in this project blog.Getting started.
