Project Information

This mission style table was my first attempt at mortise and tenon joints. Alot of work but in the end I really think it turned out well. Western red cedar with cabot deck sealer. This table really fits nicely with the adirondack chairs i made. (Already posted). Critical feedback is welcome and thanks for looking. By the way this is really proof that buying lumber from some of the big box stores can produce some decent furniture with plenty of milling.

Looks like you put this one together very well. I imagine the table is not as heavy as it looks because of the cedar.

I have bought some great looking lumber from Home Depot but it usually takes me as long to sort through the wood as it does to build something…..............

Redryder- that is for sure the issue. By the time you have sorted through all the lumber you kind of feel bad for the guy coming in behind you to get the same thing.

Great looking table, and I really like the chairs, too. Makes me think of summer, sitting in the shade of a big pecan tree with a cold one. Of course, after this winter, almost everything does that.

I'm especially fond of the mission style. Looks like all fits well. Set in the chair, prop up feet with beverage, and admire your craftsmanship.
