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.

The drawer dividers were friction fit. I was initially planning on adding a hidden compartment above the drawer and below the top, but there's and alignment issue with my dovetail jig and I lost too much height because of it. All the more reason to try hand-cut dovetails I guess.

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.

Hickory Dining Table Rough Dimensioning

I started on my biggest project to date, a hickory dining table. It'll be 4×6' without its leaf, and 7.5' with it.

Mobile Work Table Frame

I've had these Douglas fir 4x4's sitting for half the year. I milled them up this past week and framed out the base for a mobile work/outfeed/assembly table that I can use at Technocopia . The plan is to fill it with four cabinets (two with drawers, one with trays and one for a dust cyclone) so I can bring everything into the workshop with me.
