Its all Wood

While I was at my Uncle's cabin in Eagle River, WI, I went about making my first 100% wood construction piece of furniture. I used only an old 20ft. pine 2x6 that I found above my uncles garage and Titebond II wood glue. To school myself, I read Peter Korn's Woodworking Basics book

Tenon, cut by hand with a dovetail saw

Gluing pine boards together for the tabletop

The legs, put together with mortise and tenon joinery

The view from our workshop over Sunset Lake.

The legs, with mortises drilled and chiseled out. 

The table! I want to paint the bottom...

Beautiful!
