This table is made out of solid black walnut and a curly maple decorative border. I went with dovetails on the rails and for my first time, I think they turned out OK. The table is finished with tung oil. I am in the middle of making a “matching” table, sort of, but I am going with finger joints instead of dovetails because I really think they look good. I will also do mortise and tenon rack in the bottom. Thanks guys!

Jason, great piece. I think the dovetails look great and I would sure do them again. That walnut has some pretty coloring to it. you did a nice job on the table

Looks good over-all, but as a design element, I would not have seperated the sap-wood pieces in the top. The straight line between the points jumps out. Put together, it would have been smaller in total width, but more flowing.

Longhair, yeah I would have to agree, I will not make that mistake again, but thanks for pointing out my error lol…Finish is Tung Oil, that is all I use, but I am fairly new to trying “fine furniture” making so I am excited to use other things, just not sure how yet…I have a table as a matching piece except everything I did wrong on this one I am redoing on the other one, I’ll send it to Marc when I get it done and maybe it can get on here and get feedback from you guys about the differences…
