This table was designed and built before I had a CNC that would have made it simple to cut out the parts. I relied on my router table and a little engineering to make a jig to hold the wood and pass through the stationary router bit in varying ellipses.Made it from cherry. The base boards intersect with the wide boards dovetailing into the narrow piece. A slight round over on the outside edges of the base mimics the elliptical edge of the top above. This table is also unfinished. Mostly it was a table to verify that my ellipse cutting jig would work. It was used immediately after assembly next to a recliner where my x-wife used to sit. I've sold the recliner and she didn't take the table when she left.
