It all started with SU and 3 pieces of cherry
I have 3 pices of perfectly flat 1"x15"x48" cherry that I want to use in a project that will maximize the size. So I decided to build a coffee table with a finished overall dimension of 46"x46".
I needed a drawing. I had just downloaded the free trial of SketchUp. So I decided to draw the coffe table and teach myself SU at the same time. I sure hope building it will be easier than learning how to draw it.
I'd appreciate comments on both the design and the drawing, which is attached.
Actually, my next step is going to be adding all the dimensions, before starting to build.

Google SketchUp will export to JPG
Chet:
Your design looks good. I have a similar table on my To-Do list :) .

For this simple model, I just added some wood / lumber texture, and exported in JPG format ( File | Export | 2D Graphic ). One can select from BMP, JPG, TIF, and PNG.
