well it took a little over 17 years for me to get to it but finally built a hall table for my wife. She and my woodworking tools patiently waited while I spent the majority of my weeks over the past years screen printing tee shirts .
Material is red oak finish is a old school mixture of 40% varnish, 40% tung oil and 20% mineral spirits with a little oil baseed stain added in.
Measures 32 tall 16 wide and 42 long.

Nice table.    Table top edge helps to make the design stand out.    The dog is good too.   All dogs are good,

Hi Mike in UK from mike in the colonies.
I have a great wife she puts up with a ton of my procrastination habits and she saw how much I was dedicated to the tee shirt business. Now the job is on her to pick out the hardware for the drawer fronts. Have to get these on ASAP because I don't think I have 17 more years in me .
Thanks for looking

Hi colony Mike ;)
Embed a rare earth magnet in them - she can just open them with any random bit of metal to hand, while you pick out the handle style over the next 5-10 years.
Actually, now I've put the idea in my head, I might do that to the bedroom furniture - I think we're on the 4th different set of handles in as many years. She can rotate them out on a weekly basis without me having to do anything.
Nice looking table. Welcome to the site. You’ll enjoy it a lot more than the other place
Very nice table, the legs with the small stretchers are what makes it a fine-looking piece, also the top looks great. Well done.
