This is just a basic endtable that I made. It took me forever to complete. Having a baby in the middle of the project changed my schedule quite a bit. Then winter hit and I had no desire to go into the garage. Finally the days grew warmer so I finished it up. This is the first project I’ve done involving glue-ups or mortise and tenon joinery. I was fairly happy with the way things came out. After completing it, I did some measurements to see how well I did on keeping it square. I’m proud to say it came out almost perfect.
It’s red oak, “Early American” stain and two coats of quick-dry poly.

Hi Joshua,
This is a nice table. You did a good job on the design and execution. But I am surprised that you got away with just one. Given the obvious success of this table is a matching one in the future? :)
Thanks for the post.

I like it a lot.
The design reminds me of a table I made that gave me fits!
