Thanks for the comments. No plan - not even a formal design. I based it loosely on the Mission Chair built a couple years back from a Wood magazine issue. I was going to do a Sketchup plan but started cutting wood instead and never looked back. The proportions are okay which is usually the problem I run into when designing my own furniture - tends to look boxy at times. I am happy with this piece and it should move into the house in the next few days.

Very nice, especially since you designed it. Did you use the same Varathane finish as the Morris chair?

QSWO.

Mission style.

Beautiful execution.

For my tastes, that's the Trifecta … or … a hat trick.

Superb. Just love it !

I like your stock pile…and I like your table.
But I think we all might like more information about the finish.

Wonderful table! I really like the corbels. It is hard to get them to look right, while not having an overhang that is out of scale with the project. To my eye you got it just right. How did you attach the corbels?

How beautiful! Really nice positioning of the medulary grain. I haven't done Stickley-style stuff in a year, but now ya got me started…... I think I only have about 8bf of qswo, so to the yard I go. Thanks for a beautiful inspiration.
Really well executed.

Thanks for all of the nice comments. Several questions about finishes (which are my least favourite aspect of any woodworking project - by far) made me realize that the finish I applied to this table is slightly different from the finish I used on my Morris Chair (thanks CaptainSkully for making me go back and read my write up on the chair!). The result is a slightly lighter finish that actually looks better with the flecks in the QSWO. Unfortunately, when the table and chair are placed in proximity, it is noticeable - Whoops! I am hoping that the oak darkens in time and the difference becomes less noticeable.

On this table, I used Watco Danish Oil in a Dark Walnut colour followed by the Watco Satin Finishing Wax. This is a favourite combination of mine for several reasons including the ability to retouch/rebuild a finish at any time. Unfortunately, Watco has discontinued their line of finishing waxes and I am near the end of my supply.

PintoDeluxe - the corbels are glued in place although I did try out my new Cadex pinner when I realized that one of the clamps was slipping. Don't tell anyone as I really try not to use mechanical fasteners unless absolutely necessary.
