I designed this tall table with easy workflow in mind. At 30" wide and 78"' long, its top is spacious, wherever you decide to put it to work — in your home office, as an airy kitchen island or whatever you decide. This tall table with geometric accents could easily serve as a large standing desk or a minimalist kitchen island. I wanted to incorporate some interesting geometry into my design, and hexagonal shapes appeal to me, but I also wanted to keep the project easy to build. Rockler’s Beadlock® loose tenon joinery was just the solution I needed. The Beadlock drilling jig makes it possible to assemble the mitered corners of the captured hexagons, as well as most of the other butt joints in this table build.
