A pair of slightly modern cherry end tables. These tables are constructed without traditional leg-apron joinery. Instead the legs are joined to the top with wedged through mortises and the shelf is mortised directly into the legs and fastened with a wenge peg. All of the joints are mechanical, so even if glue fails the joints will remain together.
Dimensions: 28"w x 28"d x 26"h
Detail of wenge peg fastening mortise and tenon joint between the leg and shelf.
Detail of figured cherry and double through tenons wedged with wenge.
