Hello all,
I've been working the last couple of weeks on a simple end table design. My family room currently lacks a place to put a beverage and plate while relaxing with the family. Our family room is small and doesn't have much room, so my aim is a design that is just big enough for a plate and beer, small enough to move around and not collect clutter. I'm building the first one out of elm (leftovers from the base of my workbench) and will likely build two to three more out of walnut should the design prove pleasing. My design tastes tend toward a blend of modern and asian simple minimalist lines and curves.
Here's the initial concept:

Unfortunately I don't have hollows and rounds but did have a friend with a cove bit for a router, so I used that for the upper coves

And here's the current status

The remaining tasks are to taper the legs and arch the rails. Here's a mock up:

Given the excellent new thread on modern design, I'd welcome feedback on the overall design concept and details of the mock up, especially the leg taper and arch.
And it just got really cold so I probably won't make it back out to the shop for a couple days so have a bit to ponder this one....
Thanks,
Chris C.
