I received a beautiful piece of mahogany from a neighbor that I would like to turn into a small coffee table. I have most of my design plans figured out but I don't know what these corners are called. I feel like I used to see them on tables everywhere but can't find an online example. I even picked up this board from the thrift store just because the corners are similar to what I want to do. I would have mine go in a little further and rout the edges with a round over bit or something so the edges and corner wasn't so sharp. But I really want to know if there is a name for this particular type of corner so I can research and make sure I do it properly, and also to explain what I'm doing a little bit easier.

I cut these first with a Forstner bit and then use a router to round over or run a cove around the whole board
