Beautiful!

I'm supposed to be building one like this. I have the plans and some of the qtr sawn oak. Think I'll get joining those boards this weekend.

My main hangup is that I'm not confident in making those long edge joints. I've made enough mortise and tenon's to think can can make these but a 5' or whatever edge joint is something I just gotta go for and rip them apart if it doesn't come out right. Yours are really nice.

Biscuits are your friend keeping those long edge glue ups aligned.

Great job! The closest I come is still IKEA or Wayfair. Besides, my shop is a cluttered mess and the RH is 32%.
