This Hall Table measures 5' long, 12" wide, and 31" tall. It is made out of black walnut and is finished with hand rubbed shellac. The top is made out of a single board that has quite a bit of character to it. (When we are dealing with a table top that is this narrow we usually will do a single board top.) The legs are five sided, which is a style that we have been working with for the last few pieces (Loura's Blanket Chest and Jill's Low Dining Table are other examples). The top has facets at the corners which echo the shape of the legs.
Next is a detailed photograph of the stretchers meeting the bottom apron. A bridal joint here helps balance the visual interest between the top and bottom of the piece. The stretchers also strengthen the undercarriage of the table. If we were to build this table again, a change of wood choice and/or style of stretchers could give the piece a completely different feel.
Here is a front view of the table. Guinea Pig for scale.
