Appreciate all the feedback. Maybe its me getting older or maybe it was my time away from it, but i slowed myself down and paid attention to the grains and the little slivers of sapwood.  I really enjoyed the process of it all instead of diving right into production. 

When issues arose, like loose tenons, i took a step back.  Nothings perfect and no ones gonna see that i used iron on edge banding to pad out the tenons 😂. 

Im lookin forward to the next build.  Ine of my best buddies saw it and wants to commission one.  I wont take his money but i will have him buy some nice material for me to play with.
