Looks nice! I really like this kind of stuff. I've built cabinets and odd'n'ends before, but I'm not really set up to build quality furniture.

Guessing he's talking pavers

Thanks. I've always been a small project kind of guy and this is my first furniture project in a very long time.
Nice. A new deck is on the long range to-do list. I just might have to consider some pavers in conjunction with it. Well, more pavers. We have a small garden path on the front side of the deck that we planned to redo with pavers. Your project makes me think of adding more out back.

More progress this weekend and tonight. The tricky thing about making a curved table apron is, table saws are flat. So first thing Saturday, I made a couple of cradles (more MDF!) to hold the apron stable and level while I cut the tenons on the table saw. One of the cradles wasn't quite spot on level but a little hand work with a shoulder plane set the uneven tenons right. So far, so good. Tonight, I made the rear apron and tweaked the tenons to fit the legs. It's now dry assembled and standing on its own four feet.
Just a taaaaad more tweaking and it'll be time for glue up. Then it's on to final shaping of the tabletop.

The sawing, routing, planing, and chiseling is done. Just a little more sanding and it'll be ready for finish.
Man you have an amazing talent
Coming along nicely! What are you thinking for the finish?

I'm going to wet sand a couple of coats of boiled linseed oil, followed by Waterlox wiping varnish.
That will look beautiful. Can't wait!

Okay, the BLO has been applied and I'm in the process of wiping on the varnish. The tabletop really came alive with the first wet coat:
