Interesting table! I have to say, I personally like the thickness of the table top in conjunction with the body/legs.
Really cool table,in the pictures the top doesn't appear to be beefy to my eye,but it may to you. Would brass work instead of aluminum? It seems to go better with wood especially cherry. the dark inlay really sets off the wooden legs nicely. Love those scallops, looks like a lot of hand work to get them all to match. You do nice work ,Bill.plans for the feet are to cut some 1/8" aluminum to form, then apply some 1/8 non skid rubber to the bottom. I really like the way it is now, but know that those sharp edges would last about an hour and a half out in the world..
The actual table top is fine...I'm very pleased with that...its the top "branches" of the base that i think look awkward. This is whats been the sticking point for me...but as I mentioned earlier,,,I have an idea now as to where I want to go with it....hoping it works out...Really cool table,in the pictures the top doesn't appear to be beefy to my eye,but it may to you.

Kinda cool ain't it? I was just playing around and one thing lead to another.. before I knew it.. this is what I ended up with...funny how things work out sometimesI forgot top say the inlay on the top is beautifully done, That is going to stand out unbelievably beautiful when it is finished.

Now that I go back and look, I see what you are talking about. I see where you drew a pencil line on the top elbow to maybe remove some of the material on the outside bend, That would sure slim it down some in appearance alright.The actual table top is fine...I'm very pleased with that...its the top "branches" of the base that i think look awkward.
