Nice job Greg. I like the turned legs. I did a similar piece with tapered legs. I have some pics of it I’ll post later.

Interesting color for Oak. One of my first projects was a bookshelf built only with a jig saw and a drill.

I have to admit….I cheated a little on these and the other tables. I don’t own a lathe so I used oak staircase spindles for the legs. I had to cut them down from both ends and that was a task in itself. None of the spindles were exactly the same lenght and the all of the square parts were different lenghs as well. I solved that by measuring from the samp point in the turned details to the ends. I had to use some large shims to hold the legs square on the miter gauge on the table saw. Once I had the sides assembled, I cut the angle for the lid and assembled them with the front and back. On the front, I hand planed the front to match the angle of the sides.

doesn’t sound like cheating – sounds like ingenuity. (and of course, look at all the work that you still had to do the spindles!!)
