here is a sideboard that I designed and built, and cut mostly using my Shopbot.
This sideboard measures roughly 15" deep, and 79" wide. Wood is walnut, and locally cut Vermont Ash. Finish is tongue and danish oil. The legs are glued up from 17 laminations each, and the aprons are joined with through mortise and tenon joints.
Everything other than the table top was cut on the Shopbot. I did use a hollow chisel mortiser for the through mortises, and I cut the opposing cheeks for the tenon's with a hand held router.
The edges were sculpted/relived by hand instead of just softening the edges with a round-over bit.
The table took me roughly 2 weeks to design and complete.
