I like it. Are the tops of the legs attached by any other means, or do you feel the kreg screws via the apron are solid enough?

Due to the moisture content of the top, I was relying on the shear strength of the screws for strength in anticipation of drastic wood movement. I completed that piece 4 or 5 years ago, prior to the purchase of most of my current tools. If I had time to allow the top to dry more thoroughly, I probably would have made through tenons for some added strength and visual effect. At that time I was working in my unheated garage with a salamander heater pointed at me.

Also Oak, supplied to me by the client. He did not have the tools to do the work. He finished it, or at least that is what he told me.

Nice.
IMHO, for legs this size and the weight I'd use rather tenon and mortise joints instead of the Craig screws.
