My entry way table design, which is based heavily on Michael Pekovich’s design from his Foundations of Woodworking Book. I highly recommend that book, as I have learned a ton from it! I modified Michael’s design by making the overall size a lot larger, curving the entire front area, and doing a different style foot. Both the table top and the drawers are curved, which made this a very challenging build. I heavily relied on my CNC machine to do a lot of the complex cuts, and the Fusion file includes all my CAM/Toolpaths for what I did, but beware: I broke a bit along the way!
My table is made from cherry wood with walnut accents. The drawer sides and bottom are maple.

CAD Notes: The main Autodesk Fusion 360 file uses Configurations which only work in the paid/subscription version of Fusion. I’m including both a configured version and a non-configured version. I use the configurations to modify some CAM operations to not have drawer grooves, but the basic non-configured design has everything I drew in CAD. I used MapBoards Pro to layout parts on lumber, which can be seen as components. I used these as a reference for my CAM and toolpaths.
Plans: The “rough plans” are just an automatic drawing from Fusion, and may not reference every thing that is needed. I didn’t use any plans, and just referenced things directly from the Fusion drawing, heavily relying on the “Maps” created for part layout.
