Red Oak Nesting Tables

It took awhile put the finishing is done on the red oak nesting tables. I book matched the tops, and the grain flows from tallest to shortest. The aprons are continuous grain and also match up from table to table. You notice none of this due to the legs and different heights/lengths, oh well. :P

Spalted Maple Valet Glue-up

I found this 5/4 8" board at Farnsworth Lumber a couple months back. They threw it in the solar kiln for me and got it pretty dry so I started using it to make this valet last week. It's a continuous grain box with a drawer below (still working on that). The top is separated so there's a place for a phone. Spalted Maple Valet I was pretty happy with it when I was dry fitting it, but after glue up some slight gaps in the dovetails appeared and it went out of square by about 1/32". Not a huge deal but just annoying. Any sage advice for preventing these sort of problems? The dovetails were super tight before glue. Spalted Maple Valet Spalted Maple Valet

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.
