A pair of routed details at the top and one at the bottom of each square leg creates an elegant profile. Made of solid, 2-3/8” hardwood, the legs accept two horizontal rails along the short sides of the table.

Braced between the two lower rails is a solid rectangular stretcher, which completes the table’s robust, yet balanced, silhouette. Lyptus® wood receives commonly used stains and finishes well. With a rich, red tone that rivals that of mahogany or cherry, natural Lyptus® wood is striking when finished with clear premium lacquer, as shown here.
