My son wanted something to put his TV on when he moved to a different house. He wanted "dark wood, single shelf without dividers, no cabinet back (open shelf) and nothing wild". After some discussion, he searched the webs and came up with a vaguely craftsman style looking sort of a coffee table thing that would work as a basic design acceptable to him. He wants what he wants and doesn't want what you want. So, I had a little pile of leftover African Mahogany from a large project I finished several years ago and he liked that color as we had decided he did not require staining. I barely had enough wood and had to carefully locate each piece so as to hide some blemishes in the wood. I made the shelf with T&G slats fitted crosswise to use up some short drop offs I had in the pile. I used little M&T attachments for the decorative stiles in between the legs at each end and a sliding dovetail for the divider between the drawers. Of course the practice sliding dovetails and the one on the rear went well, but the "show" one on the front had gaps. I had intended to put breadboards on the ends of the top but did not have enough for two breadboards. I was able to use some secondary wood for some of the interior drawer frame, drawer sides and bottoms. Blue tape for the half blind dovetails and drawer slips for the bottom. I have attached a photo of the drawer slip profile.
