I’m new to Lumber Jocks. Thought I’d share my first project a few yrs back. It’s a simple Shaker-inspired table. If I remember right I think I found it in a Norm book. Red Oak. Breadboard top. Mortise and tenon joinery. Tapered legs with shop made taper jig. Dovetailed drawers – with help from my father-in-law and his dovetail jig (I had never worked a router before, let alone a dovetail jig). Thanks for looking!

sweet-looking table. It’s an exemplar and an excellent job for someone’s first project or hundredth project!

Now that’s right nice for a first project! Impressive.
LOL Matt, I’m still in the “gummin” stage of woodworking.

Very nice DakotaWood, it is always good to have someone like your father-in-law to show you the ropes.

Nice job. It looks like you used breadboard for the ends which should keep the top stable. I may wish I had on the version I made.
