Impressive work.

The miter tenon ends looks great. Any worry about wood movement in that area?
The table looks great. Did you make the chairs too?

The finish bring out a lot of warmth. I really like the results.

Beautiful table and excellent work. I couldn’t see the ‘surprise’ too well, what was it?

I found about a dozen 2" wood screws from the maker of the chest. I assume that he had no clamps as he built it on the side of the road I was told. I Don’t think the mitered tenons are wide enough to worry about movement and they are pinned with open tops if there was any. No, I used our home chairs for the photos. I have chair building on my bucket list.
Thank you very much for the nice comments. Cheers
