A day in the life of a woodworker

This is one of the Freeman Woodworking projects and is a good example of the hand tools in use. The bowsaw shown here was made in my studio and was the copy of an antique.
I made two of these tables from 16/4 bird'seye maple.
These tables are very simple in design using only
three pieces of rock maple 2 1/2 inches thick.
Although simple in design they were anything but
easy to execute because you only get one chance to fit dovetails and of course a filler was unacceptable in the craftsman's eye.
