QSWO Coffee Table

Hi All,
After doing some window sills and trim I finally was able to do my very first project. So many things learned while working on it, I can't wait to start the end table (and then a Morris Chair!). I cut all the small end mortises by hand (taught myself - love Youtube!) but used a friends bench top mortiser for all the large ones. While I bought a pair of 1950's Powermatic planer and jointer, I did finish the top and bottom shelf with a new Levitas BU jack plane with a 50 degree iron. If I had it to do again, I'd have cut the sapwood off the boards on the top, but I didn't realize it was there when I started. Now they just add contrast and the LOML likes it.

If the boss likes it, it's perfect....
Nice work on the table Joseph.

Dang...QS oak looks good.

Nice project!

Very nice!

What a nice first effort!

I'm with your wife; I like the character and color variation. It looks curly. I bet that is one heavy dude! Well done, amigo.
