Great job! The first is always the hardest. The rest are downhill.

This is an good job no matter how many tables you have done. With this being your first table this piece is excellent. Cherry is my favorite wood with which to work. I, like Dan, would like to know how you finished the piece.

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for all the postive feedback. I was looking for a site like this, I feel right at home. I have yet to learn how to finish a piece properly. So , I normally use danish oil to finish all of my projects. However, I was fresh out when this was done. I decided to use boiled linseed. I have a whole can I want to finish. I would love a good recipe for finishing.

Dan, I didn’t have a set of plans really, I used an advertisement for a dominoe and substituted the joinery. I think it was in woodcraft mag, or pop. woodworking. I have seen plenty of pictures of these tables and thought the design and style would be a good way to get started.

You did an excellent job on the table, I think it turned out great!

Sweet table! Are those pinned mortice and tenons? Well done—if you want, we can probably expound on different finish recipes—it seems that most have a favorite. Excellent job!
