What do you use to fill in the cracks on table tops etc? Epoxy?

Yeah, Raka UV inhibited epoxy is my usual. It has challenges with heat/shrinking in larger voids, so I have to do it in layers ~1/4-1/2" thick max, but its a lot better price point than west system epoxy.
 
I've been in my shop quite a bit over the summer. Thought I'd share a few things I put together from wood I milled;

First is a cabinet made in the form and style of the famous cabinet maker Krenov. All dovetails were handcut and I used Norway Maple with Black Walnut. Drawer pull was carved from a piece of pear.

Next are two chairs, one made out of Black Walnut and one out of Black Cherry. Design is from Scott Morrison, these chairs have a really unique look and are perfect for putting in a corner since there are only 3 legs.

Bmac that level of craftsmanship is amazing, un real!
 
Steps for the porch.
Nice Job. Clean and sturdy looking.
Love those heavy steps on the lighter looking metal stringers.
I did a similar set for a retaining wall access stair.
Really liked the metal stringers. Got them from my local Lowe's store.
I used pressure treated Spruce 2"x 10" for stair treads.
I just need to stain them now.
 
Looks great, but it looks like your cars got displaced by your drying lumber stacks!
Yep, but just temporarily.
That's all my house siding lumber.
I used the carport for sun and wind cover to stain it all by hand before I installed it.
It's local Eastern White Pine bought from a mill up the road.
It's shaped into square log siding, tongue and groove, 2" thick by 10" wide.

Thank you. I had to exchange one of the stringers, the difference was 1/2" in length, it would drive me crazy.
