Something simple for the fun of it and an excuse for some new wood grain materials.

Lovely

Very nice. There's a lot going on at the base, with overlapping feet and the corner posts. What's the joinery there?
-
Thank you, gentlemen.
David, the feet are joined with half-laps and the legs have a tenon that extends through both feet.
I imagine someone building this today might use loose tenon or dowels.

Simply wonderful

I thought the leg joinery would be something like what you've shown. If I were making the piece, I think I'd turn turn a tenon on the leg and drill a mating hole through the half-lapped feet.
Best,

I agree, David. I would use a round tenon, too.
Or just a big nail.
