It may well be _a_ sofa table, not _The_ Sofa Table, after all ... we'll
see how that pans out.
Besides, if I hadn't mentioned it, would you have known the difference
by looking? ;)

With the exception of the corbels, this is basically a reproduction of an
existing piece, and that is the configuration of the original, with seven
spindles on each end (3/4x1/2x13), spaced 1 1/8 from each end / 1/2 apart,
thusly:

This may already be spoken for ... past clients are always looking for
something to match what they already have. The one I really have in mind
for my 'heirloom" personal use (I'm saving as an old age project) is G&G
inspired, of cherry.

After shellacking/changing the color, probably not, unless you have
worked with a lot of each variety.
