What would have been worse is that at one point, it was looking like I'd be able to finish both in the same weekend. Thankfully, that didn't work out. It's also likely that I won't finish anything else any time soon, because I'm working on absolutely nothing at the moment (other than cleaning up and reorganizing the shop a little). I might start something new this afternoon when I get home, but it won't be anything major. The wedges make those joints look fairly nice. That might be the greatest advantage to that kind of joint, at least in this application. Maybe in others, the extra mechanical strength comes in handy for resistance to racking. I do think that a finish (especially something involving oil) would make the joints look even better, but I'm probably not going to bother with that until I move on to the next workshop, whenever that may happen.

Two "finished" comments in a row? Doesn't that break some kind of rule? And within four days? Oh man, that is so unfair... Looks good - I especially like the look of those wedged through tenons. Nice job! What? Two “finished” comments in a row? Doesn’t that break some kind of rule? And within four days? Oh man, that is so unfair…
