About a month ago, I posted pictures of a 1/6th scale model of this table and it’s early construction stages. It’s finished now and ready to ship. I found out this weekend though when I met the clients for the first time that the carpenters won’t be finished their kitchen until around the 1st of May, so it will be around for a bit, which will give us a chance to show it off a bit. We’re pleased with the way it came out and the wood is AMAZING … It came from Good Hope Hardwoods in Pennsylvania … It certainly wasn’t cheap, but it was worth it … Dry, heavily figured, flat and straight … A super plank.
Check my blog for bigger photos and the whole story on this one from start to finish ….
Also, I see that almost 1300 !! people have looked at the photos of our shop that I posted last Sunday. Since then I have added a post on getting the CNC to the second floor … Check that one out here.
Thanks in advance for your comments and encouragement … You all are an inspiration to keep me writing and posting … dan mosheim

That is an amazing slab. It really makes this project. It is hard to appreciate the scale when you see it by itself. I was one of your visitors. You have so many cool tools in your shops. I would love to work there. I have metal and wood working tools too, but have to be very careful, as they do not coexist very well. I am always afraid a stray spark is going to burn the shop down…

Very impressive. Was the slab kiln dried when you bought it? I would have been concerned about end splits. Obviously you pulled it off. Kudos.

It has always been my dream to have a table like this, but I must say – you beat my dreams – it’s beautiful.

That is one spectacular table Dan! Keeping it simple really showcases that beautiful walnut and it’s finished perfectly. Well done!
