Just wanted to share my most recent project. I dining table I was commissioned to do for a friend. The entire project is constructed of soft maple featuring through mortise and tenon with lock key. This is my first attempt at mortise and tenon EVER. Well, unless you count my Fesetool Domino as a mortise and tenon joint. The table is then finished with GF Java gel stain and GF Arm-R-Seal.
Big shout to Kent Bathurst for coming over to help teach and walk me through my very first mortise and tenon joinery and to also provide me with the proper tools needed to complete the task.
It turns out Kent Bathurst, contrary to reports, is not really dead. Well, not actually "not dead" - kind of like the Walking Dead, but in his case, more like the Woodworking Dead..... no shop, no machines, getting a small hand-tool operation unpacked in his new condo.....kind of lurching around looking for sawdust and projects to take a bite of, and stumbled into my shop one day with a box of top-notch hand tools. I may be infected.
