Looks good, the proudness of Greene & Greene joinery has always appealed to me.

White oak is such a nice wood to work with. I just love the smell.
This is a nice pic you captured Mike.

Andrew great to hear from you – thanks for the feedback.Originally Posted by Andrew Hughes
Funny you should mention the smell of white oak, when Sherrie walked in the shop the other day she said the same thing – "most great in here – where did you move all your running shoes?"
This quarter sawn white oak has been a challenge to plane without tearout. Particularly for pieces with reversing grain around where branches were growing etc. I ended up getting a lot of use out of the card scraper, but still couldn't completely erase some of the tearout. I'm hoping with enough rubbed out shellac/grain filling no one will notice.
Best, Mike
