This is a job I had 4 or 5 years ago. Heavy table. Fluted legs.

Nice - simple and elegant. I would have hated painting over the nice wood
of the legs but it does look good.

Thank you

That is not paint, well, it is, 2 coats of black milk paint and 3 coats of
varnish to give it a satin finish. LOL

My customer wanted that look, she wanted to see the grain telegraph through.

Nice job Leon! I like the staggered look of the flutes at the top.

Did you flute these at the table or handheld?

Man, that thing got dirty in that short time. Clean those legs, huh?

Nice top.

That table is massive..! Must have functioned as a kitchen island.. But
those poor little feet.. They have their work cut out for themselves..
Amazing how something as simple as fluting can soften, add texture and
improve the look of what otherwise would be boring wide straight legs..
Nice work.. as usual..

I did them on the router table. I began on the bottoms and used a reference
mark on the leg and fence to know where to stop at the top

The top was about 200 lbs IIRC.

The table top is 36" high, kitchen counter height. I don't recall this
being the rage at the time but it is now pretty common to see kitchen area
tables this high. It's intended use is an eating area but as you mentioned
it would make a great work area also. IIRC the feet are as wide as the
legs, I think the black legs makes the bun feet look some what smaller.
They don't look quite so small on the bottom picture where the legs are
still the same color and as usual when you view square legs from an angle
they look more massive. The top is 42" square and there was only 29"
ckearabce between the legs. The customer did not want the feet to protrude
so that they would not get scared up from the chairs.

Had this been intended simply as a work island larger bun feet would have
the way to go I think.

You could easily and safely bonk the old lady on that, huh? You're
wiser than you look, Leon.

Very nice table. It looks heavy and solid. I like solid furniture
with simple lines. Wish I had room for a table like that.
