A slide-under tray, stacked slats or a shaped wooden top

Choose a table for how you sit and what you keep nearby. Each project explains what the shared design supplies and what you make separately.

Offset the slat layers to make a spiral

Jeffrey Noel changed Jen’s table to a 14-inch diameter, used six pieces per layer and offset the segments into a swirl. He added a one-inch acrylic top and lights inside for a decorative lamp table. The repeated slat design can change its pattern through the arrangement of the layers, not just through a different wood finish.
