Great looking picnic table. Mission style?
I don't, know. Is that mission style? Whatever it is, blame it on Swingman.
The picnic table is modelled closely on an indoor table that Swingman made.

And how was the use of the dado made easier.....
Did you plunge cut the mortise and then clean it out with chisle....
Good looking table.

Thanks. If you look closely, the feet of the table are made out of 2x8 cedar
glued together with facing 3/8" grooves routed in each to fit 3/4" tenons
cut on the legs. What made the dado an easier tool to use was that it was
easy to sneak up on matching dimensions between the tenons and lap cuts on
the feet. Two seconds adjustment on the tablesaw, three minutes per
adjustment on the router.
