>I don't remember building two of them :^) If I'd had my druthers, I would have used QS for the aprons and drawer front, too, but I didn't, because it would have increased the cost of the table enough that it probably wouldn't have been built at all.

Sweet table, and a question

>How's the lower shelf attached William? I have to agree, QS all around would have look realy nice.

You turned it around, and one apron panel has vertical grain, and the other has horizontal?

>There is a small stretcher on each side, between the front and back leg, about 5/8" high, and 1" wide, set as close to the inside as possible and still have a 5/8 x 1/4 tenon, with a mortise inset 1/4" from the inside of the leg. The drawing shows the view of two legs and a stretcher from the top (or bottom). The shelf is attached to the stretchers with flat head wood screws, three per stretcher. The stretcher can only be seen by sausage hounds, mice and cats.

>Scott,

Because I'm lazy (hmmm, could this be why I need exercise?) I'm not going to go look at the label, but I think it's Bartley's--or something like that. I've seen it in three flavors: light, neutral, and dark. I always get the neutral and color it with artists' oil paints and/or the stain I'm going to use. I've found the neutral a pretty good match for red oak right out of the can.
