Finally, A table for my wife

[DSWalker]

Shortly after I started my woodowrking journey back in 2015 my wife asked for a table, but was undecided for a while on what she wanted. So I made several for friends and family in the meantime. This summer when I had to buy some lumber for a table for my neice I went ahead and got enough to make ours. Thanks to Scott Smith and his Quartersawn Oak!! I promised to have it ready for our Thanksgiving dinner. Ours is set for Saturday and I JUST put the final touches on it tonight, just in time. I'll bring it in tomorrow morning.

I got the legs off FB Marketplace for $10 each.

Beautiful - if you get a minute- would you show how the leaves work and how the top is attached...

It is a version of this. Dutch table with extensions.

I really like this design. It is great for those of us with small spaces for an everyday table, but that have the occasional need for a big 7 footer.

Very nicely done.
And the $10 leg purchase was a great find.

MinWax weathered oak. Didnt get the grey that she really wanted, but we just went with it. Then minwax poly. The glossy photo was while it was still wet.

Thanks! And Yes! The guy had over a hundred of them from a warehouse he bought. I should have got a couple extra sets, but didn't.

Very nice. I think your color combo turned out fantastic.
Thanks for sharing the video - hadn't seen that design before.
