Very nice work Jim. Solid walnut from your own trees.....Beyond the craftsmanship, the project has another layer of special meaning. Keep us updated til the final pics on this project.....I want to see finished walnut in all it's glory. Still my all-time favorite wood.

But.......(don't you love that word?) leaving the drawer off of the project means you won't have a place to put the remote in your new home theater room. Just throwing that out.....is it too late to retrofit? I like drawers on end tables for that very reason...sounds trite until you search through the house twice a week to find your step/time saver .

By the way, I really like the Thos. Moser look.....can it be described as Danish Shaker post-modern? Any other references besides the Measured Shop Drawings for American Furniture that you might recommend? If it's available, I'm thinking of ordering it from Amazon.
