Black Locust Plant Stand Glue-up

I wanted to post more about these plant stands as they got built but that didn't seem to happen, better late than never though! They've both been sanded and glued up now, and I spent last night cleaning up the squeeze out, puttying gaps and cutting the shelves to fit on the first one. The second still needs all that and I hope to get them both home to finish this weekend.

I original plan was to wedge the stretcher tenons, but after cutting a chamfer on them I decided I liked it better. There's seven of these on each side, and they match the front angle all the way down.

The shelves themselves sit on 3/8" of the side pieces, I'm going to secure them in place with some tabletop fasteners and mortises that I put on the insides of each of the side pieces.

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.

Pine Trays

Another couple of pine trays, this time from a left over floor board from my parent's house. They're the same design as the weathered pine tray , just a little thinner and cleaner. I didn't end up rounding the corners of the their bases this time.

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.
