I finished the table and 2 out of 4 chairs on Christmas Eve. The other 2 chairs just need to be stained and glued together. Lots of fun to make!

Used Oak and Walnut and really like the contrast. There is only one thing that I wanted to add as I didn't have time and that is small walnut dowels to reinforce my mortise and tenons on the chairs...something to add when I have time.

Enjoy!

It really is more fun making something special for the kids. Does the matching play kitchen come next? Very nicely done!

Beautiful job Allison. I agree... the contrast looks great.

Dr.Zook · 01-07-2008, 03:03 AM

Beautiful work Allison. Is that an inlay in the top of the table? And in the thin strip in the chair backs. Like George said, the color contrast is great.

ACV · 01-07-2008, 12:11 PM

Thank you for your comments. The thin strip on both the chairs and the table is an inlay abount 3/16 deep.

That's fine work Allison. Just out of interest, how did you attach the table top?

ACV · 01-07-2008, 08:00 PM

To attach the table top I had some 3/4 UHMW. I used a dovetail joint on all pieces and then pocket screwed to the legs. My kids are quite active so I attached as sound as I knew how.
