Viewer Projects

Round Table by Peter

The top is 6′ 8″ in diameter and the entire table is made from old oak reclaimed rough sawn 2×10’s. The base is joined with Dominos.

It brought a tear to my eye to plane it all down, but I was really happy with the final look.

It’s enormous and several hundred pounds.

Slab Entry Table by Ron

Just finished a 3 legged entry table for my son & his wife’s new house as a house warming gift. Its from the maple “Ant slab” I bought from you a couple weeks ago. They LOVE it!! I epoxied up a few cracks, inset the 3 hairpin legs that I painted flat wrinkle black.

Keepsake Box by Josh

I built this little keepsake/ junk box for my dad. It’s made from curly maple and wenge. This was my first attempt after several practices at dovetails.
