The bracketsupports are secured to posts and under top by screws sunk andblind plugged. Our next illustration, Fig. 106, is of a style suitable in a smallor large size, and while shown with only the cross strainers,may have substituted a lower shelf for books or rugged claw foot is in pleasing contrast to the plain por-tions of the table; the leg however may be left uncarved butshaped in a graceful, symmetrical manner. The size given for. Fig. 106.—View of Round Center Table. this leg is 2 X 2 5/16 inches. This, however, is sufficiently heavythat the addition of side blocks will not be necessary to producea gracefully formed ankle and foot.

The height of these tables having been given, the plan in Fig. TABLES AND STANDS 91 107 will facilitate making up a working drawing. In this illus-tration the top is 23 inches in diameter by i inch thick, and theprojected under part 24inches in diameter by J/ginch thick. The rails be-tween legs can be made of2-inch material glued up toadmit of securing a width suf-ficient to produce the quarterring shown, which is i>^inches wide. Secure these
