Notching and Tapering Cherry End Table Legs

I notched the legs, and then decided they needed a taper so went back and did that as well. I'm going to have to do a bit of sawdust clean up as there are some gaps here and there, but not bad for my first attempt at this.

I also dovetailed the drawers (you can see them on the bottom table's shelf). That was going great right up to the last of four cuts when my bit decided to drop 1/16" halfway through the cut. I caught it before I finished the cut but it left me with one ruined dovetail. I'll have to do some creative patching to fix it.

Hickory Dining Table Top

The table top is coming along. Both halves and breadboards are ready for tenons/mortises. I'm trying to decide what looks best: sapwood out or heartwood out.

Spalted Maple Valet

His birthday has come and gone so it's safe to say that this was a birthday present for my BiL now. After sanding it up I finished it with my usual method: boiled linseed oil, danish oil, wipe-on polyurethane.
