Leaf-Shaped Nesting Tables

Cut craft paper templates in a leaf shape, in three graduated sizes sized to your own space and to nest together.

Trace the templates onto the oak plywood, orienting the grain to follow the leaf shape, then cut out each tabletop with a jigsaw and true up any long straight edges with a circular saw.

Apply edge banding to all cut edges and trim flush.

Attach the purchased furniture legs to the underside of each top with pocket screws and glue.

Sand and finish all three tables.
