Photo #1 shows the tenon detail on the stretcher, and photo #2 shows the pin that keeps the tabletop in place on the legs.

Nice work Jon. I can't wait until this chemo crap is out of my system so I can get back to playing with wood.

Thanks John!

Are you done with the chemo and just waiting to get back to normal, or do you have more treatments yet?

I'd be frustrated if I could not do the things that I want to do as well.

I had to wait until today to buy the items I need to apply the finish to this project. Now that I have it, I will start to apply it tomorrow morning. With time between coats and everything else that can get in the way, I probably won't be able to finish this until Sunday or so. Too late to have my son help me get it into the house, so I'll have to wait for the next weekend for that. Oh well, another week wont mean much, since I've been working on it for it seems forever!

I have two more coats of poly to put on the desk, and it is done!

Some time in the next few days, I'll have to get help moving it into the house.....
