I've had a little rough-sawn cherry lumber laying around for a while, and Mrs R wants a small table for our back room. I got a friend to plane down some of it for the top. Here they are layed out on top of my table saw. JR

That should come out quite nicely. Stain or just clear finish?

Clear gloss polyurethane finish, a number of coats. Lots of work to do yet. JR

The top is cut to size and I decided to do a trial fitting before I glue it all up. Using a ratchet strap for clamping. Here's a couple pics. JR

Made a little more headway today. The top and frame are coming together nicely. I'll do a little more finish work and maybe mount the legs tomorrow JR

I mounted the legs to the inside of the frame tonight and did a little more finish work. I'll post pics of the finished product soon. JR
