Here is a small table I've had waiting for me to complete. The 16" tabletops were wider than my Laguna bandsaw could rip, so I tackled the job by hand. It took hours, and many blisters, but never let it be said a piece of wood could defeat me:







There is much more work to be done, including a drawer, support brackets for a back shelf, and re-cutting some loose tenons. This is one of a pair to go beside the bed, and it will inevitably take some time to get both done!
Comments welcome.

Wow.

I've had to do that before myself. On St. Croix we had a customer that needed a pair of wide planks resawn. Took an hour or two with the handsaws. Real muscle builder!

I'm looking forward to seeing them completed.
