    My library table

    Here it is, in fact I made a second one for my shore house. Interesting that this came up now since I'm making a couple of chairs which require a lot of M&T joints. Using the table saw & band saw for the tenons & router for the mortises

    That is a beautiful table. Not to hijack the thread here but what were your finishing steps?

    I don't remember the actual steps I used on that table but my usual finishing is pretty basic: sand down to 220, stain with Min Wax stain, polyurethane with Minwax polycrylic satin (3 or 4 coats)

    I cut the tenon with a bandsaw... it works great without expensive tenon jigs. The mortise I would hollow out with a drill and then route it out, or sometimes I'll just drill and use a chisel.
