I finaly got back to the shop yesterday and today and have started working on project that I started a couple months ago and has been setting aside waiting for me. I know I am not the only one who does this? :)
I had cut the main parts and glued up the tops prior. So The last couple days I have been cutting mortises and tenons and doing some sanding.. tapering the legs etc. I have dry fit the frames and started to sand the tops.
I am making these end tables from woodsmith Issue number 127.

I made these tables several years ago out of white oak for my mother inlaw.
These are for LOML to go along with a coffee table I made about year ago.
These as you can see are walnut. This particular walnut I bought for $1.00 a board foot. I know partially why it was this price! This is some of the most twisty stuff I have ever seen. Every cut it would twist or warp.. I have made it work so far. The coffee table is made from same batch. It was air dried walnut.
I am enjoying the process and thought I would as others have done start a thread and maybe that will keep me moving on this project. (It is on my goals list for this year). Many of you are inspiration in how you get things done! So here goes.
There are some additional photos of the coffee table at:
