This is a coffee table a client requested. I applied no finish at the request of the client. The legs were resawn from 8×8 oak posts that were off cuts from a previous build.
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.
