This is one of my “therapy” projects I made when I first started making A & C furniture. The entire piece is made with hand tools. Fine woodworking (#173) posted my jig for holding the legs at an angle, in order to chop the mortises straight, several years ago. The table is made from quarter sawn white oak, and the drawer is made from walnut and spanish cedar. The drawer is dovetailed (of course) and all of the joinery is mortise and tenon with the exception of the lower slats which are a lap joint. I think this took about 40 hours to complete, over several week ends. The finish is linseed oil and varnish. The dark table is a partially machine made production version without a drawer and with a fumed finish. 3rd picture is a comparison of the walnut next to the fumed white oak.

Very nice! I have always had a thing for corner tables and just little tables in general. Great workmanship!

yah—- “hand tools” makes it extra-exceptional.

Exceptional job since you only used hand tools. Wow, great job.

Tenontim, let me first say I really like it a lot, and by hand makes it that much better. I have a question…you said it was fumed so I presume the second picture better represents the color of the oak…am I right?? If so can you post another shot?? I’d really like to see the walnut next to the fumed oak…you’ve got my interest up here [Grin]. If not that’s ok, great table.

thanks to everyone for the complements. I believe that if you know how to do all the steps to build a piece of furniture using hand tools, then you will better know how to build it with power tools. Critterman, I added the picture of the walnut drawer next to the fumed oak. These are two different tables.
