Thanks folks!
The side aprons are veneer constructed bent lams, The back apron is veneered lumber-core, the side stretchers are normal bent lams, the drawer fronts are solid wood. The drawers just fit into pockets, no guides, "old school"? The top was one "big" plank that I veneered. The legs are integrated in such a way that a solid wood top would not work. That and the plank for the top was just a tad narrow so I used a slip match or two in the veneer to achieve a wider top.
There are a couple of small details that I may tweak if doing something like it again, but hey I'm happy with it!

The second one down, the dark one?
Is actually a scrapeshave/spokescrape/chairscrape made from Wenge. Here's a closer photo of it... http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_quV-skKzjmI/SgTnHy9OQgI/AAAAAAAAAV4/tGU6kH0SKYA/s1600-h/P5040039.JPG

I used an iron from Hock specifically for this kind of tool though making your own blade would not be tough. Then made the brass fitting out of some square brass bar stalk. I don't recall if it is 1/2" or 3/8" brass bar.
I'm not sure if there are plans online to make one of these or not. It is a great tool to have if you are working with some cranky woods like the Shedua side tables I made.

Thanks for the compliments!
Hmm I attended a Cabinetmaking school here in Minneapolis, MCTC though I mainly was working on furniture projects for 2 years and then the Inside Passage School of Fine Woodworking out in Roberts Creek, BC.
Was it worth the time and cost? Hmm that depends on what one wants to get out of it I would think.
For me MCTC gave me a good base of knowledge in the trade/craft/material/multiple machines. Everyone needs to learn some how whether by school, apprenticeship, perhaps family in the trade, etc. IP does cost some money but for me it was a great experience in craft and life. It has given me a major boost in confidence in my skill, attention to detail, style, and so on. If one were solely gauging on my current sales, no it would not be "worth it" but it is too early to tell, I hope.

Ha thanks, though I never mentioned that my work shared the "quality" of my table saw ;). That's kind of the point to share. One may not need a huge shop, I like to work on a relatively small scale, and one can product lovely products with not-so-ideal machinery with practiced hand skills and a good eye :)
Oh man that mural, I just kind of chuckle about it... It's not painted by the way, it's just wall-paper.
