Guess I get scared to cut into that little bit of nice lumber I have heh.<br /><br />Yes, this pair will have Euro Beech boxes and little Kwila Stands. I have a little plank of Kwila left that I think I can squeeze them out of. If not I have some off-cuts I can try to mix and match. I had though of getting domestic Beech but would have had to order it in. I like Euro Beech better (I think the lady would too) so I ordered that. Euro Beech is also in line with my "design nods" in the Danish/Scandinavian direction, which is also a nod to the client herself.<br />Thought of using Red Oak for the stand but it's just not dark enough for a decent contrast as Euro Beech has some pink in its cream.<br />I think this form could be successful in other species though. Even all one species depending.<br />Oh man, get me talking about wood... sorry heh.Nicholas Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007087871945089139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-10440930841115952662011-06-22T22:58:25.439-05:002011-06-22T22:58:25.439-05:00Neat little table!!

I like this form better wide though.<br />They both make sense to me in their respective proportions :).<br /><br />The little stands are pretty simple. Kind of cute. The leg joinery is actually angled around 2-3 degrees flared out from square :).Nicholas Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007087871945089139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934391012680836729.post-65197671207130812092011-06-22T17:17:01.079-05:002011-06-22T17:17:01.079-05:00I like it.

I made a side table for our family room and it turned out deeper than wide, but the goal was to max out the available space (taking in traffic patterns in the room, etc.). Cool base design.Jeff Branchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402561454519694074noreply@blogger.com
