When I made these blocks to attach the solid-wood top to a dining table (“English-Inspired Trestle Table,” FWW #310)) I was aiming for the blocks’ shape to be in sympathy with the design of the corbels that act to stiffen the connection of the foot and the brace to the trestle’s post. It’s an example of echoing the overall design even in the smallest of ways.

** Could be used for poker racks??
