Hello everyone,

I did the final glued up on my big ash table tonight,

With the new longer drawer runners in, it wasn't 4" to narrow this time
(Doh!) I did measure twice the first time, I just measured the wrong
thing....

Here is the table as it stands right now with the drawer in it and the
drawer kicker installed,

Here is a close up of the drawer,

The dovetails are not perfect and I am alright with that. I much prefer the
oddities and irregularities of not perfect dovetails vs. machine cut
precision.

The reveal around the drawer is quite small, just what I was looking for,

All I have to do now is make the buttons to hold the top to the skirt
(although gravity might be enough with the top weighing in at ~150lbs) and
pick a finish. I am vacillating between water based poly for total ease (and
inevitable damage from a 16 year old) and a stain and oil poly finish. I
know the foreman would like a dark or dark red finish. I am still on the
fence about the finish. I guess I will know tomorrow when I start it...

Thanks for looking,

David.

Looks nice David. We'll be looking forward too seeing it finished and
seeing what color you paint it. ;~)
