I just finished building this table and bench and thought I would post some pictures before I forget how. Its made of white ash. Sorry the pictures are not that great.

Excellent. What that thing weigh? Pretty consistent White Ash.

A lot!

Very cool! Nice work! Are those diamond(square) dowels going through the mortise and tenon to hold the bread board ends on? Or an inlay?

Just beautiful!!!

Outstanding! Did you use any of your Shopsmith equipment to build this or was it made using the other tools in your stable?

Square pegs on a 45 degree angle to hold the bread board ends.

ShopSmith was used to dado the bread board ends and drill a lot of holes for screws that are hidden. I also used the strip sander a good bit.

Square pegs on a 45 degree angle to hold the bread board ends.

Turned at 45* or a 45* down angle, if so why. I turn mine 45* most of the time.

Turned only for visual effect.
