This is a coffee table I was inspired to make. It features half lap joints on the aprons that fit into mortises in the legs. #woodworking #customwoodwork #coffeetable

All pieces dry fit. Legs with a chamfer detail and mortised for the apron. Top has a round over on top and chamfer on the underside. Made with solid red oak.
