Cherry Dining Table & Chairs

https://imgur.com/a/QymJUEr

An expandable dining table & set of chairs I worked on over the last ~18 months.

The chair design is from Jeff Miller's "Chairmaking & Design" book, the slat-back chair.

The table is also based on a Jeff Miller FWW article. I used metal extension slides from Rockler.

I'm more than happy to answer any questions about it!

What joint technique did you use? What finish did you use? What's tool did you use the most for this project?

Everything is mortise & tenon joinery.

Gloss polyurethane finish.

My jointer/planer, table saw, and router met just about every board on the project. However the tool that was used in the most interesting way was the plunge router because I used it to cut all the mortises and tenons.

Looks great! Wanna make one for me? I love the "simplicity" of the design.
