Christmas Tables

A friend of mine showed me a table he had just finished, it was aG&G thousen table. Very nicely done. I thought I would give it a try, and make them for the granddaugauhters. I new I could not do the scrool work on the sides, so I made ssolid sides and added a drawer.
One QSWO, the other is walnut.
These tables mortise and tenons, which I’m getting better at.

They 4 oak legs were cut from a 3”x3” piece of oak that was left over from a frame I made, so the are a little undersized.

I had to glue up the walnut ones, which were cut the top piece of an antique pump organ.

I had a hard time with the raised breadboard ends (I don’t make mistakes, I make adjustments) and had to make an adjustment to them, so they are level,
The drawers were were made out of plywood, and face with 1/2” QSO, and 1/2” maple with burl walnut.

All in all I think they came out fairly nice (it’s for family, and they never complain) and Iwill be making one for myself soon ( I do complain, but I don’t listen to myself).
Thanks for looking.

-- Joel, People ask what I make. I tell them I make sawdust, and now and then a nice box or frame,or clock, or lamp pops out.
