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.

    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.

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