    work in progress--walnut dining room table

    NC woodworker in need of moral support--I'm staring down some major sanding, a lot of finishing work, and then I'll probably break my back moving the dang thing into the dining room. It's massive!

    Planning the dining table top

    I am at the planning stage for the dining table top and considering my options for creating the two 70" x 20" leaves. Am I being optimistic in hoping to find 16/4 x 12" curly/quilted, KD Maple?? The top is 35mm thick (1 1/2") it would have been nice to re-saw the 16/4 to get the width. If...

    Dining table Finish?

    Almost 40 years working with finishes on metal, and still learning about wood. My quandary: I am constructing a table (66" x 40"), top is 1 1/4" solid black walnut. It will be in a dining/kitchen area (same room as the kitchen). I originally thought to finish it with wipe on poly (Poly...

    Dining Room Table Design HELP?!?

    I am currently trying to design a George Nakashima inspired walnut slab dining room table. My biggest concern is that I know I would like a Frenchman's Cove II base design, but I cannot find dimensions anywhere. I have found lots of pictures and have done my best estimating scale, but with a...

    Dining room table repair

    LOML has a Pennsylvania House dining room table she bought about 10 years ago. Solid cherry, nice finish, and it was not cheap. She bought some potpourri in envelopes and laid one of them on the table. Unbeknownst to her, you are not supposed to put this stuff on furniture, and it ate...

    Slab Dining Room Table Questions (lots)

    I met with someone today that wants me to make a George Nakashima inspired dining room table. She has two beautiful walnut slabs that are 2" thick, 18" wide and 8 1/2' long (MC 8-9%). Unfortunately they are not sequential, so it won't be bookmatched. I have never done a project like this, so I...

    Commissioned dining table WIP

    Just a reminder. The picture is in Isometric with no perspective added to show the top design. . The QSWO was bought about 4 weeks ago from the hardwood store and was left for a week in the shop on a rack. I partially milled the pieces to just remove the "skin" and let them breath a little...

    Thanksgiving Dining Room Table

    Finished just in time for Thanksgiving dinner. Some of you may recognize this as the piece of Kiatt that was leaning against the wall at East Wake Hardwoods for a long time. I finally convinced my wife that it would make a better dining table than a prop for Roger's wall. We had Mike Smith cut...
