I made this table for a customer last year. Woodnet members helped out with the design
This is before I finished it.

When I cut the legs for this table, I went ahead and cut a set from cherry. Those legs sat in the corner for a year.
Fast forward to last week. I decided to finally finish that table. I had some cherry on hand, and I just finished up some other smaller projects so the bench was empty.
The bottom shelf needed to be square, something I can’t seem to get right on my table saw. Shooting board takes care of the task with east while cleaning up the end grain.

Since the legs are tapered on the top as well as the bottom, the aprons need to have the shoulder cut on the matching angle. A miter saw with depth stops is a great solution.

Here is the base dry fitted

And glued up with one coat of oil finish. I still need to mill the top.

Not the best photos, but I will set up my make shift photo studio and get some better pics once it is finished.
