    I rather enjoyed flattening, as I was pretty careful during glue up. I did spend probably 4 hours on smoothing the top, but I avoided any use of sandpaper on this project (planes/scrapers only).

    My daughter needed a bed-side table, so I made one using a single cherry board, 9.5" wide. I wanted a couple of shelves for her books, toys, etc., and a space for her bed-side light.
