000_0360Hi Marc here is some pictures of my holiday projects. I’ve made 2 long couch tables this year they are made out of sepal (African Mahogany) and a solid hard maple top. The top is supported by 2 stretchers that have sliding dovetails into the aprons. The base is all mortise and tenon construction except for the long bottom stretcher which is dovetailed. I had the idea a couple of years ago when I made the end tables in the last picture. Thanks for all your help and inspiration.
