    Default Dovetail table

    Seems a pity to have a dovetail jig and not be able to show it off so i came up with this design. Timber is Bloodwood, a tree that was in my yard and showing signs of distress.

    The looks great.
    did you mill and dry the timber yourself or get it done?

    That's nice . Arts and crafts style was about showing the joinery off. Nice way of doing the legs too . Do they just slide up and glue or did you screw them through to the rails from the back?

    The legs are a pretty tight fit and I just put a screw through the back where it can't be seen. Very handy for breaking it down for transport.
