Embedded Files
This table was made with cherry wood sourced from my Father-in-Law's yard. The tree came down in a storm a couple of years ago and was cut into boards in a Southern Illinois sawmill. The table was designed, cut, and built by a Scotsman living in Central iIlinois.

Q: WHAT IS A CANTILEVER?
A: A CANTILEVER IS A RIGID STRUCTURE SUPPORTED AT ONLY ONE END, WITH THE REST OF THE STRUCTURE EXTENDING OUT INTO SPACE.
THIS TABLE IS MADE FROM 5/4 LOCALLY SOURCED CHERRY BOARDS PLANED DOWN TO A CONSISTANT 1" THICKNESS. ALL OF THE EDGES HAVE A SMALL ROUND OVER TO PREVENT ANY SPLINTERS OR CUTS ON SHARP EDGES BUT MAINTAIN THE CLEAN LINES OF THE INTENDED DESIGN.
THE TABLE TOP IS 47" X 26" IN AN ASYMETRICAL ELIPTICAL SHAPE WITH NO STRAIGHT LINES. THE CANTILEVER BASE'S UPPER & LOWER SUPPORT BARS ARE JOINED TOGETHER WITH AN ANGLED VERTICAL DOVETAIL SPINE. THE BASE SITS ON TWO CROSSBARS TO GIVE IT STABILITY. THE TWO UPPER CROSSBARS HOLD THE TABLE TOP IN PLACE.
THE TABLE IS FINISHED WITH A HARD WAX OIL THAT PROTECTS THE WOOD WHILE KEEPING A NATURAL FEEL. THE HARD WAX OIL HANDLES SPILLS & OTHER NORMAL HOUSEHOLD 'INCIDENTS;.
