Limbert-style Arts and Crafts Table Woodworking Plan

Around the turn of the 20th century, Charles Limbert developed a distinctive furniture style that, while inherently Arts and Crafts, also used curves and decorative cutouts. This Limbert-inspired table features gentle curves on each edge and arched openings in the side panels provide access to the shelf. What is the secret to seamlessly wrapping quartersawn grain around this tables base? Using patterns and a tablesaw sled, you will cut four identically shaped sides that come together precisely for a stunning appearance from any angle. Full-sized patterns included for curved edges.
