I finished this up this past weekend after a few months of inactivity. It's now sat in our entryway, tastefully appointed. The wife also put some fancy fabric and a glass bowl she made on it.

It's based on Norm's kitchen worktable (0208) just with box stretchers instead of the H-stretchers. I wanted to try a bunch of different techniques out so the legs got tapered, the aprons and breadboard ends were drawbored and the drawers have a lock-rabbet joint. It's made out of red oak and finished with six coats of mineral spirits, boiled linseed oil and polyurethane mixed in various ratios (one 1:1:0, two 1:1:1, three 0:1:1). I was shooting for a home-made Danish oil and wipe-on poly.
