After cutting my walnut lumber into manageable sized chunks, my first building task was to work on the legs. Plus, it’s a nice exercise in basic woodworking. Overall, it just matters that it looks good. Well, po-tay-to, po-tah-to to-may-to, to-mah-to it doesn’t really matter what you call it - I’m going with “hall table,” since I’m putting it in the hall. Tables like this one can go by several names: hall table, a console table or a sofa table.
