Well, my first major project is completed. All QSWO, all mortise and tenon, and all learned on the fly. I followed the New Yankee Workshop plans, and learned a ton and acquired a lot of new tools along the way. Thank you to all that answered my PM's and to all the threads I scoured for information on various techniques and tips. I'm not 100% happy with all my joints, but its square and should hold together for me and hopefully future generations.
Now, off to finishing with Danish oil with a mild tint. I have asked about 7 guys for their finishing tips and gotten about 7 different procedures, hopefully this thing comes out nice once when the finish is on the cushions are made.
A matching chair, and a walnut coffee table for in between are next.
