 The table is finished. Here are some rendered pictures of the table. Since this is a piece of furniture from the Ming Dynasty, I created two Chinese-style windows, a lamp and a pen holder to add some antique touch. The bamboo forest outside the window is a picture. I don't dare to create the entire 3D model of a forest. So hopefully the picture can do the justice. ^_^ I didn't make the desktop bookshelf. For one reason, it is too modern for the antique furniture. For another reason, I really don't have enough time. However, dissembling and measuring a piece of a real object helped me to understand the dimensions better. 

 In order to practise measuring skills with a real object, I decided to create a rhino model of a bamboo desktop bookshelf. Here are the dimensions of this bookshelf.  I will put this bookshelf model on the Ming Dynasty Recessed-leg Table model. I think it will help to understand the size of the Recessed-leg table. 

I started to make the Ming Dynasty Recessed-leg table with everted flanges. The dimensions of this table: 3376mm * 620mm * 984mm. I started with the tabletop and sidebar. This is my progress for now. It's not a very complicated structure yet I still have some difficulties to build the everted flanges. It's hard to match the mortise and tenon on a curvy surface.  I will practise more on the sweep 1 and sweep 2 to create a correct curvy surface.
