Project Information
This is a 12 foot by 48 inch Redwood table for a family of 7. The table has 6 legs and three breadboard ends, all done with pinned mortise and tenon joinery. Since the table is for outdoors, the top boards have gaps to allow for drainage. I used roofing nails for spacers. The table was so large we had to rent a Uhaul to deliver it. When I arrived at the customers house to deliver I discovered they had one standard size gate into the backyard. It took 7 people to lift the table over the gate and into the yard. I used a mix of boiled linseed oil, spar urethane and mineral spirits for a natural looking finish.
