The same router bit used earlier to cut dovetail grooves in the leg rails, set to the same height, cuts the dove-tail on each end of the stretchers (top). Aim for a smooth, sliding fit. A rasp then shapes one end of the dovetail (right) to fit the stopped dovetail groove in the leg rail.Install the stretchers. Once glue is applied to the mating surfaces, slip the stretcher dove-tails into the leg-rail mortises. Add clamps to the assembly. A pair of clamps spanning the stretchers helps ensure a tight joint. .CMe the UtTetcheTU CPF CUUeODle the DCUe 12 38.

A long mahoga-ny spline (above), capped on each end with a short piece of walnut, is glued into a groove on each end of the top. On the breadboard-end groove, apply glue on only about 12 in. at the midpoint. A couple of pipe clamps (right) apply pressure to the joint connecting the top and breadboard ends. Mount the top and apply the finish. After attaching the top to the base, finish the table. A few coats of Waterlox Original, followed by a coat of paste wax, complete the project.
