| The two dark bars are wedges of wenge wood. Around it is a section of the table leg that goes through the table top. |
Completed this project using scrap oak from previous projects. I decided to go traditional with the double-wedged mortise-and-tenon joinery at each corner. The dark wedges are made from an African wood called wenge (pronounced WHEN-gay).

| I kept the wedges that were sawed off as decorative items. Maybe not so
pretty, but it helps people understand why the wedged mortise-and-tenon is
the strongest joint on Earth. |
