I made this walnut table and chairs for my wife.  The table legs are made from 3" thick slabs of walnut.  The apron is bent walnut - this was a challenge.

The only jig I made was to cut the tenon for the curved upper back piece. The tenon had to be perpendicular to the side support. The rest was simply tedious layout and hand work - which I loved!
