I don't usually sell my woodworking pieces. I normally give my pieces as gifts to people who mean a lot to me. So this will be my very first commission piece.

Woodworking is my hobby and passion, the last thing I want is for it to feel like a job, but Kay is a sweet lady and this is a piece that I really enjoyed building for her.

The table is made from Cherry.

It's 5 feet long, just about 8 inches wide, and 29 1/2 inches tall.

The legs are 1 1/2" square at the top and taper down on two sides to 7/8" at the foot.

The aprons are 3" and feature a bead detail along the bottom.

There is a 1/4" roundover molding around the tabletop that sits 1/8" proud of the surface .

Hand tools only mortise and tenon construction and based on the Shaker style.
