This is a table i made for an exposition in the Netherlands ( www.vormgeversinhout.nl ). My goal was to use the entire piece of oak since it is beautiful, but i also wanted to make a table that is practical. The design of the legs just came up while building the top.

These kind of tables are my speciality. Take a look at my website -> www.drstafel.nl
