Looking for coffee table designs

[Bruce Mack]

I will be making a coffee table for a friend. She would like a secondary shelf a few inches below the top. I'm starting with the legs and considering the various curves I can use. I want grace, not clunkiness. The internet is useful (Google "curved wood table legs ideas") but a book on table design would be helpful as a shop reference. Would like to see if I can do a short cabriole, but that depends on the recipient's taste. Maybe a mock-up leg. Has anyone done this and remember how you proceeded? I've made a couple of mail tables, but so long ago I will have to turn mine over to check the attachment to the apron. Thanks.

Mike - I've been doing that with Google. "Cabriole leg coffee table design" has supplied a lot of examples in a high-end style. I've ordered a digital download titled "Contemporary Cabriole Legs" from Popular Woodworking. I expect this will have build details. I'm excited about this project.
I just got the article by Jeff Miller. The table is exquisite.

I think one of the best sources to get inspired is Pinterest, my wife used it to find a lot of ideas to decorate our house and as far as I remember she told me some of the pictures with furniture have links attached so I am sure this will be very helpful.
