The outline of a wood-slab low table gives the finished furniture its character. This record shows the ebony tabletop connected to its legs from several angles. Follow the form and sequence visible in the photos.
First, examine the tabletop’s size and outline. The curves of its natural edge reveal a different line each time the slab’s orientation changes. The photos show the slab resting on the workbench, with a dark surface extending lengthwise.
Looking at the tabletop and legs together gives an indication of the low table’s height and overall proportions. Viewed from above, the surface reveals its grain pattern; viewed from the side, it shows the slab’s thickness and edge profile. The photos capture both the making process and the completed stage.
Carrying the tabletop’s lines into the furniture
In the completed photos, the long tabletop and low-leg configuration come into view at a glance. Preserving the tabletop’s curves creates an outline that flows differently from a uniform straight line. Because the grain pattern appears differently depending on the viewing direction and light, it is worth examining both the overall form and the surface up close.
The photos show the wood slab and the completed low table. Details such as dimensions, fastening methods, and finishing materials have not been added because no supporting source material was available. This record presents the low table from several directions, highlighting the solid wood’s outline and grain.
