My wife and I stayed at a golf resort over the weekend. We don't golf,
but the location was convenient to an area we wanted to explore and the
place was historic and interesting. The grounds were lovely as well. I
took photos of a few pieces of furniture that caught my eye, especially
a massive, tall, round table.

The uprights appear to be joined to the base with pegged mortise and
tenon joints. I'm wondering how the two base pieces are joined to each
other; perhaps a half-lap?

That base looks strong enough to support a big drill press.

Thanks for sharing, the old stuff was the best.

If not half-lap, it should be.
