Chair in Cabin
Is the chair in the coffee table pic a DIY project by any chance? I really like it.
Thanks...love the painted walls BTW. I've had tongue-and-groove walls for 20 years and I'm getting ready to paint them.

Question about tabletop screws
Hi-- I'm at the stage of the project where I'm ready to attach the table top boards to the frame and the instructions say to use two screws at each intersection. The parts list only calls for 30 screws so I'm confused about where to put the screws. Should it actually be six screws per board-- two at each intersection or is it one at each intersection?
Thanks!

Table
Can you please tell me what color stain you used on this table and also can you use screws instead of making pocket holes? It’s beautiful

Nice table!
Hi. Love the look of this table. Since a 2x2 is fairly small, do you use one pocket hole in the center of the 2x2 or do you use both the B and C holes on your Kreg Jig?
