Cherry End Tables
Cherry End Tables

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
