Shaker Hall Table

Project by gSpin posted 468 days ago 974 views 5 times favorited 15 comments Add to Favorites Watch

For my second project I decided to build this shaker style hall table. This was a fun project that allowed me to explore joinery a little more in-depth as well as inspiring me to build my first custom jig. The joinery used in this project was an open mortise and tenon which I accomplished using a router table and a dado stack, and the second joint was a locked rabbit joint used to form the drawers. The locked rabbit joint was a little tricky, but after a few tweaks to the table saw everything seemed to come together nicely. I also built a tapered leg jig which gives the table legs nice lines.

The table is made of cherry and finished with Danish Oil and Poly.

Nice looking table! Nice job matching the grain of the drawer with the front of the table.

Is that a four sided taper on the leg? Nicely done.

Adding my kudos as well! Nice clean lines and I noted the matching grain through the front skirt and drawers! Where did you get the drawer pulls from??
