Materials
Solid cherry in my case.
I laminated the top out of 3/4" x 1.5" strips.
I used Origin for all of the mortise & tenon joinery. The table top floats on 3/4" stretchers, which if I had it to do over again I'd have made 1.5" wide instead.
Tools
Shaper Origin for joinery, the usual suspects otherwise.
I'm in a shop without a tablesaw for the first time in decades. Using a Kreg ACS3000 track saw, bandsaw, and Origin to do most of the necessary.
Instructions
The SketchUp project is pretty accurate, might be a version or two behind what I actually built. Buyer beware. :) The joints I did NOT do on Origin were the sliding dovetails in the "FloatingTableUpperStretcherSide.svg" files. You could do them that way but I found it easier to do them with a regular handheld router. I also cut the mating dovetails on the ends of the long stretchers on a router table.
