Cherry Night Stands
Cherry stained to match older pieces already in place. Hand rubbed poly. Reasonably faithful Shaker design with the exception of the magazine shelves.
What challenges did I face? The mortise & tenon slats and notched leg mounting especially gave moments of high anxiety
What makes me happy about this project? I destroyed only one leg notching for the shelves!
What did learn? An old cheap plane (Dunlap #3 here) can cut beautifully if clean and well tuned. After spending lotsa money on diamond and water stones, I decided to try the scary sharp lapping film technique. Not going back

Nice tables. Some planes just some a little more maintenance than others to get going. Once they're tuned they can work just as well as the fancier ones.
