Scandinavian Modern Round Dining Table

431

This dining table was made in a modern Scandinavian style for a client who moved to Colorado from Sweden. I hope it reminds her a little bit of home whenever she sits down for a meal. It is made from solid cherry; the top edge is rounded over to create a pillowed effect along the edge. The legs are angled from all sides and sculpted to a similar pillowed effect on the edge of the legs.
This Dining table is approximately 42” DIA and stands 30” tall.

Absolutely gorgeous!  Look forward to watching the video over lunch tomorrow!  
Really nice!

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Very nice Brian,

Several tips in that video thanks.  I will no longer cut dominos on the miter saw!  Even with the 10,000 finger from Fastcap my method is stupid!

The video was great.  I appreciate how you describe your design process and then throw in technique tips throughout.  Your attention to detail, even the ones likely not seen (except by grandma), is an example to follow.  Thanks for sharing.
Very nice work, I enjoyed the video also.

That’s a beautiful table, Brian. I love all the gently flowing curves and rounded edges.

I enjoyed your build video too—very direct and informative with no extraneous nonsense. And thank you for not forcing me to sit through some minute-long intro sequence with cheesy music and a montage of you at work like so many YT content creators.
I really like this piece and I enjoyed watching your video. When I eventually get round to making my own dining table I will be referring back to this. I think it's great and you did a fantastic job of it. Thanks for posting.
There is no denying it, MCM is, in many ways, the pinnacle of furniture design. Where elegance meets honesty meets lightness. Great looking table!
