first is a gift for the wife, a tissue box made from rift / quarter saw walnut. i did 1/8 inch box joints cut with a full kerf rip blade. me and the 3 year old glued it up for mom.

the second set is a curly maple frame using mitered half lap joints. pretty fun to figure out. all cut with the table saw.

third set is a soft snack table out of walnut. i used my homemade mortiser to do the thru tenons. i have some holly that i'm going to use for wedges. i had some boards with unattractive (to me) bullseye grain pattern so i used those for the legs. the grain lines somewhat follow the curve of the legs. the top and bottoms are sublime glue ups in my opinion.

the last is a new toy, cordless makita track saw. i bought this without much of a project in mind but i really like it. i have a SUV, no truck. i hate the panel saws at lumber yards and home centers. never again!

Nice work and pretty impressive frame with mitered half lap joints on TS! Not sure I have the patience for that.

I like them all, but I think the snack table is really neat!
Don't forget to post a picture when you finish it

nearly final pictures. wedged with some holly that i dried myself (came out mostly white). added feet that are glued. didnt really need screws but used some to keep it from sliding around during glue up. then replaced them with the brass ones you see here.
