Another Table For My Sister's Pastor

Lew, Nice work buddy. Very clean lines on this. What kind of finish?

Lew, this is a very nice table and I’m sure that he appreciated it.

Beautiful work Lew.
I think you’ve scored some extra
“Heaven Points” on this project!

Lew: A great job and I appreciate the sliding dovetail joint. Nice technique.

good job lew, serving your fellow church members is a blessing for them, im glad they have you and your sweet wife, so let your light shine….i like the fact that you used a sliding dovetail for the leg stretcher, those legs wont fail with it in place…...

Good work Lew

-- Nature created it, I just assemble it.

Nice looking table, clean functional design … elegant!

Outstanding…

Almost dainty looking Lew. As an old curmudgeon, dainty is hard for me to do, but you obviously can. The simple look is probably deceptive.

Curious, noting the lip around the edge, what is it to be used for? I can think of some uses in a church, but not sure.

I assume the almost stark simplicity matches other furniture. It will be transformed with the finish, post a picture if you can. Sending it off without a finish is like launching a kid without a high school diploma… (-:

Here in La Conner a few more days, with signs of spring visible in sprouting bulbs and budding trees. Back to snow and cold come Saturday. Yuck!!

looks great

Ken- Thanks! I hope they use a poly finish and not paint!

Charles- Thanks!

Eric- Thanks! I can use all of the points I can get!!

Karson- Thank You! I originally was going to use a “fox tenon” but that didn’t work out.

Jim- Thank You!

Bob- Thanks! Hope the pastor and the congregation find it suitable.

Tony- Thanks! Red oak is the preference here in southern PA, isn’t it! This piece is going to New York state. Maybe they see things differently up there.

Hoss- Thank You!

Monty- Thanks!

OldNovide- Thanks! I found most Communion tables were rather stocky. This minister wanted something a little “lighter”.

MontanaBob- Thank You!

Jim- Yes, the elegant part was at the request of the pastor and I wasn’t sure the proportions were going to look OK. Once it was finished it doesn’t look “odd”. The lip around the top was also a design request. Not sure of the reason. Although, with the super thin veneer of today’s plywood, it does cover the inevitable splintering that occurs. I used tape AND scored the cut lines and there was still a little splintering. I hope they send a picture when they get it done. Always nice to see the finished piece. We had snow here today- barely made the ground white.

David- Thanks!

Looking good, always a good idea to get in good with the Pastor.
