Last night I was able to do the remaining 3 glue ups for the pillar/supports. All went as planned. Once all the dowels were in, I was able do another dry fit. This time I was able to set the top onto the table to get a glimpse into the final product. With the top sitting on the base for the first time, I can now begin to plan what edge treatments I will give the top. The corners of the top will be rounded and the bottom edge will also whats called a table edge. Both of these details will accentuate the curves in the base.
In the pictures you can see how the holes are slightly offset in order to draw the joint tight and also as a dowel is driven in. And the remainder of the photos are just a combination of dry fits and mock ups with the top on. I’m going to keep pressing on, in hopes of having it ready for finish by Oct. 10.

Gorgeous!I love the wood, the curl of the cherry and the contrast of the dowels! The graceful curve of the legs really shows off the wood. Well done.
