Well, I’ve finished these two end tables as my Christmas present for my daughter-in-law and she will be quite surprised.
Our family will be celebrating Christmas tomorrow so these are just in time.
This was my first mortise and tenon project and I’ll say it was a challenge. I learned how to sharpen and use chisels as well as a jack plane. I enjoyed I all thought it was a long slog. Worth it because in the end it worked out.

There are no pulls or knobs on the drawers because I want her to pick them out.

The daughter-in-law loved them.
Thanks for writing such nice thoughts.

Thanks Dman2,
I used rabbits on the walnut drawer sides and rear and went with the Baltic birch because of being easy to attach the drawer front and have it centered in the opening.
I would have loved to have used dovetails but I don’t have a dovetail jig and haven’t ever used one. Someday I’ll make that purchase and give it a try. I do have an Incra inbox jig but I was running out it time to use it finish by Christmas.

I'm looking at the forum on the computer and

it sure is better to read the forum on the computer than on my cell phone. I can see all of the "Likes" and quotes.
My phone just doesn't show that stuff.

Thanks, I'll have to use the computer more often.
