Chinese Style Table
Whilst munching away at some pan fried dumplings I was admiring the table I was seated at and thought, I'd like a table like that.....
Wonder if anyone knows where one might find plans for a Chinese style table similar in style as to the ones pictured.

It is unlikely you are able to find plans. 2 things you can do are a) study pictures b) learn how Chinese joinery works. Good luck because it won't be easy.

The problem with Chinese furniture is working out how to make the joints. There are very few texts on joint layouts and it is not obvious by looking at them on the outside.
As far as I can see the joints of Asian joinery have a more 3 dimensional nature than western joinery, locking in two directions rather than one.

I'm sure you could make do with m&t and dowels. The carving could be fun.
