Dinning Table Project: 3

Well, I have made some progress. There are 8 pieces that make up the table top, 4 – 2 x 6′s and 2 – 2 x 12′s. I had to glue and dowel them together by twos before connecting them as a single piece. Considering the years (at least 20) they sat in Mr. Worthington’s barn, they were a bit warped. It took some careful clamp work, but I managed to get most of the bends out.

 

 

It is hard to tell with these pictures, but I have a good bit of plane work to do.

I finished the legs tonight, and I am pretty happy with them.

 

Starting tomorrow, I will attach a 2 x 4 border to the table top. After that, I will need to plane and prep the pieces for varnish, and then put it together. I am hoping to have it done this weekend.
