I built this while at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine. Under the tutelage of the esteemed woodworkers there I refined my woodworking skills exponentially.

I really appreciate the details in the dovetailing and handle, nice touch! Thanks for sharing.

Yes, the case is mitered, with no frame and panel; the top is the same flatsawn cut as the case so all sides, tops, and bottom will expand/contract at the same rate. The case corners are let into a rabbet in the legs, which in turn are tenoned into the top;everything locks together and moves as a whole unit.
