Just finished & installed this fella, nice pine breakfast bar thing. Tried out thickening the edge to make it seem chunkier than it is and came out lovely I think (lemmy.world)

Beautiful looking curves, not just a boring rectangle table, I love it. Fantastic job, friend!

Looking good! One small thought though,

It's probably okay since they're close together and thick but you might want a brace between the legs at the bottom. Even just a small dowel or something, and to help keep them spread as is over time

Yeah I did think about that, but they're quite firmly built in at the top with a big thick bracing piece tying them into the tabletop, I think it'll be fine :)
