Project Information
The dimensions for this projects came from "Shop Drawings for Craftsman Furniture". Bottom stretchers are M&T into the legs. There are top stretchers (not visible in photos) that are dovetailed into the tops of the legs.
It is constructed from QSWO. The finish was an aniline dye, and then several coats of tung oil. Evidently not very water resistant as the plant pot that my wife has sitting on it has left a blackish ring on the top that I will need to refinish at some point.
As a bonus, I built a circle cutting jig for my bandsaw just for this project and it worked pretty well. When weighing the pros and cons of using a router trammel or circle jig I would vote for the router trammel as it leaves a nicer quality cut than my BS. Then again, maybe I just need to tune up the BS again.
