Dinning table

I like the table design and the finish is fantastic. Welcome back to woodworking.

That is one beautiful table. What wood did you use for the legs (I have some ‘blonde walnut’ that looks a lot like those legs) ?

Beautifully executed!

Absolutely beautiful finish on the table top. Are you actually going to put/spill something on that table top? Great job and welcome back.

Great design & build, I really like the heartwood and sapwood together.

What finish did you use?

Thanks for sharing.

adding the swoop to the legs made them very graceful and really adds to the piece.

I left out a few details that a few people have asked me about. for the finish, I applied a coat of boiled linseed oil that thined down with mineral spirits to the top. Then top coated with General finishes armor seal wiping varnish. The legs I did alittle different. I made the legs from soft maple, but I wanted the get the contrasting color of the maple alittle closer to the sapwood of the walnut. So I used a amber shellac that thinned with alcohol for the first two coats. Then top coated with armor seal. In the future I will probably use some dye but I didn’t have any on hand and need to finish the project. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I’m new to lumber jocks and everyone has been real welcoming. Thanks again.

Looks beautiful. I like the contrast between the top and the legs. Great work.

Nice table, Holcomb! I like the contrasting woods and leg shape. Mortise and tenon on the apron joinery? Welcome to Lumberjocks and thanks for sharing!

-- God bless, Candy

Thanks. I did a double mortise and tienon for the legs to aprons and 6 lose tenons per joint for the top. Alittle overkill. T&G breadboards with 4 dowels.
