I just finished my project blog on this build here. If you want to follow along the build.
It’s a skinnier version of the classic shaker hall table. This project held a few firsts for me: hand cut half blind dovetails for the drawers, and tapered legs using a taper jig. The finish is natural Danish oil followed by several coats of 50-50 clear and amber shellac.
It’s my best effort to date, and a gift to my sister for her new house.

Really nice. Love the dovetails! Did you have to plane the cherry?

vanhandler – I planed the chamfers for he top, I planed the end grain on the dovetails to make them flush with the poplar drawer sides, and I planed everything else for smoothness, ... is that what you’re asking?
