Hey all!
I'm relatively new to the area here after moving up from South Carolina last year. For the new(ish) house, the wife wants a large dining table with timber-frame style legs. I've run out of talent and lack good enough equipment to make two of these pieces:
I've already laminated two pieces of 8/4 Sapele and completed most of the cuts. The problem I've gotten myself into is that I've left too much "safety margin" away from my lines and have lost a large portion of my reference surfaces. Unfortunately its also too much material to remove with a hand plane (by my amateur assessment). Does anybody local have a jointer/tablesaw large enough to help make these cuts....and the willingness, expertise, and patience to give me a hand? I'm happy to cover any costs associated with it!
I can take some pictures of the current stage I'm at if that's helpful.
Thanks a bunch!
