I posted this on Reddit awhile back when I finished the build.. but thought I would share on here in an effort to get to know people! Hope that's allowed.

Mitered joints with biscuits.

I think this is absolutely a chance to repost some stuff. I was on Reddit and didn't see it the first time around :)

It looks great! How did you source/prep the slab? I have some Oregon maple from a friend's Alaskan sawmill that's air-dried which I made a coffee table out of, and the remainder of which is going to be a desk soon.

Sounds awesome can't wait to see pics. Hopefully you'll share.

I sourced the lumber from a little shop here in Idaho. It was rough sawn and thankfully straight enough. I don't have a planer so I just sanded for days until my arm fell off.

Alright @[email protected] -- I finally got it posted. I think a question mark(?) or something was angering the gods of lemmy. Here it is: Imgur Coffee Table Build/Etc.

I was checking out Beehaw and saw this table. I recognized it from Reddit! Excellent work. I hope others follow us here.
