Dining table

I started working on the next big piece today. It is a dining table for a colleague. She gave me a drawing to show what she had a mind. After thinking about the species of wood for a while we decided to make it also from elm like to desk for my daughter. I had given her a piece of the elm I had used to build the desk and she liked it. Today I started with a mock up of one end of the table, including the legs, or leg. This will help us to check that the dimensions are harmonious and I can figure out how to do the joinery. The tabletop here is thicker than specified. I wanted to see how a thicker tabletop would look like and I can always make it thinner later. I am really excited about this project!
