Pat no it was a spur of the moment thing and they were great?
Last week my wife and I were in Northern California and we stopped be the College of the Redwoods Woodworking School. This is where James Krenov taught and practiced woodworking for most of his life....
Thank you for the recent comments! I know its an old thread..... glad to see the interest
Really nice! Great work!
Sometimes I fall in .... no sharks yet;)
My son, Ryan designed this piece. It is intended to be a base for his bathroom sink. White rift sawn oak is the material. It is currently unfinished. The bridle joint at the juncture of the legs is...

It does seem a little unstable even as quarter sawn. I noticed bowed panels , but when they were assembled the bowing is not an issue. It must be dry! I prefer qs white oak. I am making a bed...
Bret,
The sycamore was cost effective ... $4.00 bf for quarter sawn. It is stable. It is weak as you shear across the grain. The trough mortices tended to break out. Dovetailing is difficult since...
Jamie,
I agree. The thing is she was using another table that was for sewing and it had a footrest and she wanted it
No didn't make them I bought 10 wishbone Wegner chairs made in the original Hansen factory
Excellent video! Hans Wegner was the chair master! That is a great combination of technology and hand craftsmanship . Having made a lot of chairs I appreciate the video. I have 10 Wegner dining...
I HAVE THE SAWSTOP AND IT IS A HASSLE. I never use a dado blade on it. Multiple rips moving the fence and a shoulder plane. Or just use a router. I have the Festool and guide rail . that works well ....
Its the internal stress in the wood.... Look at the edge when you select wood to resaw... symmetry around the centerline is a good choice

I cut the proud tenons flush with a saw. The wedges were firmly engaged with a hammer. Then I sanded 80 , 100, 120 150 220, 320 grit with my Festool 150. All edges and corners were detailed...
we tried setting the chair up at our dining table and I mocked up the foot rest with a block...the geometry worked
Jamie,
Dowels from side to top... ledger strip (ribbon) on inside for miter... one edge is glued and the other can move if it needs to ... there are screws ( sorry) in the ledger
My shop is a mess ... this is not like me (yes it is) ... Pictures are unrotated, but desk sits on floor in normal position... Finish is teak oil rubbed with wet and dry #600 then renaissance wax......
This is a desk for my wife's imac. It is quarter sycamore and walnut. Through wedged mortice stretches. Continuous fold over miters... The usual suspects (details) I tend to include. Sorry the...
My back hurts just thinking about it ....;)
Shawn
Is this from the trays I made? Very Nice work !
Mark
Shedua is a wonderful looking wood but tear out can be a problem. When you glue up a series of boards for a door or table top the grain is most likely reversing from board to board. In this case...
Here are a couple of links to a coffee table with the same edge detail and there are tips in the post on method of construction

Olson bi metal are cheap and last a long time
Excellent work! Nice grain continuation and attention to detail
Small dishes like appetizers fun !
