This is not a typical construction of table furniture. Modular construction allows one thing - one can work with smaller pieces at a time. The challenge is in assembling the pieces rigidly and with the proper strength. Good planning is essential.
 |
| Constructing one of two boxes (pillars) that will house the drawers and make up the main support. |
 |
| The two pillars have different dimensions, so finishing them first allow for proper measurement and layout of the four piece bridge that will connect the two pillars and the table top. |
 |
| The table top and box materials are 3/4 inch oak plywood trimmed with oak and walnut. |
 |
| The pieces just before staining and finishing. Note the four separate pieces that make up the bridge. |
 |
| The advantage of modular construction is that the stain and finish can be applied before assembly. |
 |
| Assembly was made with pocket hole joinery. |
 |
| The two tone ends of the table were first made separately the joined with biscuits at each of the table top. |
