Entry Hall Table

Started a new project this week! I am building an Entry Hall Table with a little Arts and Crafts flair and some Greene inspiration with thru tenons. The table will be about 27-29 inches high and 12" deep, my wife tends to clutter open space pretty quick so I figured I would make it a decent width at 30". As always learning new lessons, this time at the lumber yard as I laid out the needed wood I forgot I needed 4/4 stock and 6/4 stock. Well I only purchased 6/4 so I need to decide between re-sawing to get 3/4" to 7/8" thickness for the sides and fronts or going back and getting 4/4 stock. Decisions! Anyway it will be made out of quartersawn white oak - like any good arts and crafts style project!  I am still contemplating the finish but here are some early pics at the legs already cut.





Close up to see some of the rays.
