Tusk tenon trestle table

 

Here we use a tusk tenon, with a half-rounded edge, to pick up the detail of the leg.  Repeating design elements is one way to strengthen a design statement.

The use of a tusk tenon to attach the stretcher to the leg sets makes this table easy to knock down and move, or to ship.
