    Roy, I agree with the others, a very elegant design. The ebony color is perfect!

    You're too humble Roy. Great design and execution!!

    I love it. Elegant, simple. Beautiful proportions and lines. The symbolism of three legs (trinity) may not have been intended, but comes through loud and clear.

    Brad -

    Took an easy way out:

    Pocket Hole screws from the INSIDE faces of the legs-- into the top. This placement combined with the Ebony Stain makes them very hard to see unless you physically get under there (closely) and look.

    I thought about grooving the top ends/edges of the legs to match grooves routed under the top.....and basically installing loose tenons......but these hold nicely. Being a more decorative piece, it shouldn't receive much abuse -mostly staying in one spot.

    The three legs are all edge glued Long Grain to a 'skewed' six sided Ash block. I created a flat section on each leg for glue up. This center block has long grain 'end caps' attached top & bottom for more appeal.

    Thank you all for your nice comments!
