Quarter sawn oak hall table

Very nice!

That is a great job for a fist project.
Way to go!!!

Welcome to LJ's that's a great build. I like the taper on the bottom of the legs. I have one suggestion, having made several tables like this myself, you might want to round over the edges. It prevents them from getting dinged up and it leaves a nice looking edge. Just a suggestion, it did come out beautiful.

Very nice. The oak really pops out on the top.

Fantastic job! I really can't believe this is your first "serious" piece - really great dimensions and finish.

Looks a LOT like the one I made a few years ago - mine, BTW, was certainly not my first project. Yours looks just as good or better!

Thank you all for the encouraging words!

Bob - it does look much like yours - but no dovetails in mine so you win!

Martin - thank you for the hint on the edge. I can see the danger of dings in a normal household!

Nice looking piece. Love OAK! Yup, gotta make me one.

Great work, very clean lines… Well done.

Professional looking. Nice job.

Nice work. I'd be happy with it too. Can't wait to see what else you come out with.

Too good to sell. Makes you want to keep it like a family pet.

very nice table. I love this style. Awesome job!

Oh, I am definitely keeping this one! Looking around this site, I think I will be trying many more projects since I am feeling inspired.

Looks like a gr8 table to me Kookaburra! Wow, that was a mouthful.. Very nicely done.

very nice love the sides what kind of joints did you use

is there a plan available for this table?

This was your first real true build?! I know people been making sawdust for 20 years that wouldn't know where to start. Nice piece well done.

I took a woodworking class through my town's recreation department. We could make whatever we wanted and I decided to do this table. Most of the other people in the class were much less ambitious, but I did not know that when I decided to do this! Fortunately the classroom was very well equipped, so I did not have to make the investment in tools it would normally takes. I also had an excellent teacher who exhibited a lot of patience!

Thank you for not asking about the perfectly nice pieces of wood that became scrap by the time I was finished with them. This took me the whole term to make, plus plenty of time outside the classroom.

Very nice! You make really nice projects, I might add you to my buddies!
