Hello everyone,
I did the final glued up on my big ash table tonight,

the new longer drawer runners in, it wasn't 4" to narrow this time (Doh!) I did measure twice the first time, I just measured the wrong thing....
Here is the table as it stands right now with the drawer in it and the drawer kicker installed,

dovetails are not perfect and I am alright with that. I much prefer the oddities and irregularities of not perfect dovetails vs. machine cut precision.
The reveal around the drawer is quite small, just what I was looking for,

I have to do now is make the buttons to hold the top to the skirt (although gravity might be enough with the top weighing in at ~150lbs) and pick a finish. I am vacillating between water based poly for total ease (and inevitable damage from a 16 year old) and a stain and oil poly finish. I know the foreman would like a dark or dark red finish. I am still on the fence about the finish. I guess I will know tomorrow when I start it...
Thanks for looking,
David.
