I just finished building my house and need lots of new furniture. This is the first of many. This is also my first endeavor to work without the use of power tools or mechanical fasteners. The top and knob are composed of canarywood and rosewood, the apron is canarywood, and the legs and drawer-carcase are pine. The finish is Linseed oil, and paste wax. The leg to apron joinery is haunched drawbore mortise and tenon, and the drawer is hand-cut dove-tail joinery. I don’t know what style you would address to it if any.

Great little table! My hat is off to you for the power-free construction.

Great table. If the rest of your house is furnished with this type of quality furniture – it will be a true showplace.

Nice. I like the idea of no power tools. The Woodwright vs. Norm.

Nothing like back to basics to sharpen up those skills. Nice neat job.
