A simple shaker style table in white oak, finished with spar urethane and kitty approved.

The breadboard ends on the panels were an education on this one; on the top they aren't strictly necessary, but I felt they were needed on the lower panel so that the movement of that captive panel wouldn't rack the legs. Found out I prefer making the tongues with a router rather than the dado set on the table saw.

She's a toughie. She demands top quality craftsmanship and chicken flavored treats.

I've also seen the slots made with a biscuit joiner, in at least one case I saw someone do that because they forgot to cut them before gluing up the table. Not sure my biscuit joiner would fit in this table though., internal dimension is ~14".
