A little bit more progress on the Craftsman Ottoman.
After removing the legs from the clamps, I ran them through the tablesaw to cut off the excess veneer. The finished size of the legs is 1 3/4", but I since they are glued up out of 1" boards, I had plenty of stock to remove after gluing. When I glued the veneer I had both pieces overhang one edge so the other edge would remain square.
After the tablesaw I ran them through the planer and trimmed them all down to 1 3/4" square.

I am very pleased how they turned out. The veneer will hardly be noticeable once I ease the edges.
I also dug through the wood pile to find wood for the rest of the parts I needed. I jointed, ripped, planed and crosscut all the parts to size. The wide board on the left will be the spindles.
I need two more parts - the shelf and the shelf supports.
The last thing I did was setup my router table to start cutting the mortises in the legs. I'll get that done next, then cut the tenons on the rails with the tablesaw.
