Ellipses are simple to draw using most CAD software. They are also fairly simple to cut out using a CNC. I designed and made this table before I had a CNC I could use though. It evolved from an idea I had to invert a simple ellipse drawing jig. To test the jig out I used it to swing the wood panels through a router bit on my router table in elliptical paths. Every ellipse in the design was cut with the same jig. The legs have a slight rounded edge that echos the ellipse shape of the top above.

The legs join together with dovetails. This design is a good example of detail continuity.
