I am moving along with the wedding gift/entry hall table. I has always been in my mind that it will end up looking like it came from Ikea (except Ikea do not sell anything in Fiddleback Jarrah). The simplicity of the design hides some of the most complex joinery one can use in furniture building: mitred through dovetails, bevels that meet at the corners, drawer fronts that are tight to the bevels, internal stopped dados, turned tapered legs morticed at compound angles (staked) without deviations from one another, and then sliding tapered and stopped dovetailed bases. Lipped dovetailed drawers to come. No doubt a CNC machine could do this in 10 minutes!

No one else may know, but we do! A few photos ...



Drawer fronts (three drawers) ...




Starting on the dovetailed, lipped drawers . Something like this ...
