OK, is it 5 spindles or 7? One image of the model shows 5 and the others show 7. There are several reasons I noticed.

1. I have a personal deep interest in this subject.
2. I noticed the photo shows a sample with maybe 5 spindles and they are equal spaced with a wider space at the outside.
3. I prefer that configuration and it is more classic than an equally spaced set spanning the whole opening.
4. I have personally chnaged to the wider slat approach vs the spindles. On this piece I might use a 4 1/4" wide center slat, a 3/4 gap and then a 2 1/2" slat on either side with another 2 1/2" gap at each edge to the legs. This is a bit more craftsman where the spindles are more mission.

Mainly because I'm matching this:

It may well be _a_ sofa table, not _The_ Sofa Table, after all ... we'll
see how that pans out.

Besides, if I hadn't mentioned it, would you have known the difference
by looking?

Well sure, maybe.

With the exception of the corbels, this is basically a reproduction of an
existing piece, and that is the configuration of the original, with seven
spindles on each end (3/4x1/2x13), spaced 1 1/8 from each end / 1/2 apart,
thusly:

This may already be spoken for ... past clients are always looking for
something to match what they already have. The one I really have in mind
for my 'heirloom" personal use (I'm saving as an old age project) is G&G
inspired, of cherry.

After shellacking/changing the color, probably not, unless you have
worked with a lot of each variety.
