I posted this one to !woodworking@lemmy.ca too, as I do most of my furniture projects, but I'm particularly proud of how this one came out. Solid white oak with genuine mortise-and-tenon joinery.
We've moved to !imadethis@lemmy.zip due to the shutdown of lemm.ee - join us there!

How did you finish the wood? That soft sheen looks good.
That's Minwax's Helmsman semi-gloss spar urethane, thinned 60/40 with paint thinner and wiped on with rags cut from an old T-shirt, 4 coats, 8 hours in between, buffing each coat with a little chunk of paper grocery bag in lieu of high grit sandpaper.
