Interesting table

[Greg Guarino]

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's what it looks like.

If not half-lap, it should be.

Thanks for sharing, the old stuff was the best.

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