Finished Table

[Larry Rose]

This is the finished cypress deck table hard at work on the shop porch. It will be moved to its permanent position on the deck at Kitty Hawk this week end. I had to try it out to see if it works properly. ccasion1

Hey, that's pretty spiffy. Nice work.

The finish is 4 coats of Z-Spar Petit marine varnish lightly sanded between coats and yes, is seem to function very well.

Wait!!!

There must be something wrong with that table. I see two empty chairs and two full beverages. :icon_scra


Otherwise, it's a beautiful table!

Larry: Is that your design or from a plan? I really like it! As you know, cypress is my favorite wood.

 

[Collin Davis]

Very nice. Hopefully it will live a long life at Kitty Hawk. =)

Very nice! The tapered legs give it an elegant look. And the individual boards on the top really promote the outdoor feeling.

Very Nice Larry.
I like the tapered legs and then the different lines for the top.
SO how is working with the cypress?

Great looking table.

The design is loosly based on one Norm did some time back. I think he called it a Cricket Table. I came up with the top design. If you look closely you will see that the ring is made of a double series of arcs. The arcs are connected with pocket hole screws and then the slats are let onto the top ring. Finally the bottom ring is sandwitched to the top ring. Skysharks asked about working cypress. It works great. The only draw back that I can see is that sometimes its a little too soft and is easy to ding up and is a little prone to fuzzing up.

Looks good dad. It's going to look even better in a couple of weeks when we have a few margaritas sitting on it.
