Been a two month long process as I have little free time to work on these, but finally complete! A big thanks to Colin (InteriorWoodWorks) who helped me flatten the top of the coffee table.
These were made out of cherry (stained with gel stain.......sacriledge i know, but the wife had to have these dark) and finished with oil based poly (finally figured out good method for applying without bubbles, and junk in the finish). The interior drawer components were all cedar. I'm not sure if using cedar for was theic best idea for interior drawer components so we will see how it works out. I could still use some help to get the drawers perfect, but have a feeling I need something a little better than the el cheapo harbor freight dovetail jig.
At any rate the pictures are below, and I am quite satisfied with the overall project. If you have any suggestions please throw them out. I don't do this very often.....and every project is quite a learning experience.
