I’m working on replacing my porch furniture, and the side table was the worst of the lot so it got replaced first.

I’ve built a few little tables by now and I’ve got a lot of the process down. I used this one as an excuse to practice making actual mortise and tenon joints instead of the loose tenons I’ve used in the past. The mortises that the center brace sits in were chiseled by hand, the others are routed.

I’m thinking of making a couple outdoor-friendly morris chairs to replace those old iron ones. That’ll be a minute though.

    Looks good! What finish did you use for keeping it outside? I’ve been thinking about doing something similar, but never made anything intended to be kept outside.

    Coaster is cool too. It reminds me of a fancy laminated guitar neck.
