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.

Here’s a close up:

    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.

        Well howdy neighbor (I’m in Oregon)! I, too, sanded my arms off before switching to a hand plane that I set up as a scrub plane. It was kind of mind-blowing how much faster and easier it was, but I of course didn’t figure that out until I’d also tried a belt sander and random orbital sander for days… live and learn lol.

        I’ll put together a post for the coffee table (or dig up my reddit/imgur one) and share it here, and I’ll tag you, assuming I can figure out how to do so.

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

    Looks awesome, are the biscuits aligned vertically inside the miter or perpendicular to the mitered faces? I am thinking about making something like this and trying to think through the joinery.
