Also add little feet so air can circulate on all sides

The chair looks great! I don't think there is a thickness that won't warp, but using quartersawn wood of any thickness will help a lot.

Dovetails in oak is no small feat. But how sad to put that much effort into a bed for one.

Here's a small desk that goes with the table from above. To make the legs adjustable, I cut mortises in the ends of each leg and I simply press fit different size blocks in them to account for the floor (in a 125 year old house) being out of level. The wood is the same brown oak, but the finish is a soap finish so it appears a bit lighter. The top is a scrap of solid surface, and the corner joints were made how they were to provide corner support. I also wanted to say that I set every one of those ~3000 tiles (a skill I learned from @swt61).

More power tools than hand tools, and primarily on the table saw. I use an incra positioner and a custom ground dado blade. I like doing stuff with hand tools but I am nowhere near good enough with them.

The base is birch which I get locally, because birch. The brown wood is English brown oak which is white oak from England that has been killed by a fungus that turns it brown. It's from https://www.hearnehardwoods.com/oak-english-brown-lumber-2/ I used it for my kitchen cabinets, and that bundle in the yard was one of 5 of those I bought. Pics of that later as I am still finishing the cabinet doors. And a detail on how the leveling feet work ...
