  1. Dinning Room Table

    After my wife saw the BBQ table, she decided we needed a new dinning table (the old one was pretty tired). We went shopping for a suitable piece of marble and found this beautiful piece of blue marble exactly the right size. We only had to have them cut 1/8" off one end to remove a chip. We...
  2. Mission Dining Build #4 , Willie Sandry Designs

    Here are the completed dining chairs. I made 6 side chairs and two armchairs to handle large gatherings. All tenons are pegged, and the lower cross rail has through tenons for added strength. The front legs are laminated for quartersawn grain on all four sides. Chamfers were formed with an...
  3. 10' Birds Eye Maple Dinning Table

    I offered to build a ten foot dinning room table as a house warming present for my brother in law. We used a technique which cut down on the weight considerably. This technique consisted of using a resin coated honeycomb cardboard, which was one inch tall, for the center core of the table. This...
  4. walnut drop leaf Dinning table in Maloof style

    This may be my favorite piece so far. It took a lot time just keeping all the board, for the top, matched up. Every time I'd have to cut, joint or sand something id spend 20 min or more getting them back in the correct order. I think it was worth it for the consistency. Please contact me if you...

  6. French Country Table Part II

    Here it is delivered and installed. These are some of the finished pics at the customer's home. This project took me about 3 1/2 months to complete. It was actually a lot harder to make than I thought. Bread board ends and pull out extension support were a bit of a challenge. They look so...

    full disclosure, I have no affiliation with Africa Exotic Lumber in any way shape or form. I was driving along Hwy 287 north of Dumas the other day and saw a small sign plain sign by the road "Africa Exotic Lumber". So I pulled in and talked with Peter Grobler, they primarily make furniture...

    Hello everyone I'm new here! So I'm building a farm house table out of old barn wood. My wife wants pretty much anything you can see to be in original/untouched ..... That being said how can I make both ends of each table leg square/flat. I plan on putting a board towards the bottom on both...

    Test Drive The first installment of this blog is here due to LJ blogging technical issues… To make sure the dimensions are correct for our new table, we decided to do a little test drive. It didn't hurt that we're having eight people over for a Fourth of July BBQ. We ran over to the big box...

    Frame components and tabletop I wanted to design an arts and crafts dining table that included arched rails and twin keyed tenons. I like several of the Stickley tables, but wanted something original. I like the feel of Keven Rodel's Talesien desk, which served as inspiration for this table...

    Mission Dining Build #5 - Table Apron, and final assembly The table assembly is now complete. Since the leaves store in the table, the aprons needed to be hinged. I used short piano (continuous) hinges from hardware source.com. The hinges are 4.5" long, and lock at 90 degrees...

    Mission Dining Build #4 - The Table The dining table is well underway, with the frame assembled and equilizer slides installed. I think there are some misconceptions about equilizer slides. They work for pedastal tables, or any design where the legs are stationary when opening...

    I am wanting to make a table that will seat 8. My wife's family congregates at our house most holidays and our table is too small. From my reading need 24 inches per person. With this in mind I should be able to pull this off with an 8 foot table length right? But I am confused about figuring...

    I had a nice German couple drop by the shop the other day and they looked at a couple of Pecan tables, they liked the color and grain of the Pecan and inquired as to having a 24 foot long x 18" wide long bar with a 2.5 inch drop edge and also an 8 foot L section at one end. Well I have never...

    I have named this redgum burl big Bertha. It measures 560X360X500 (22"X14"X20"). Naming the burl was the easy part, now comes the question, what do I do with it?, (besides giving it away to another Lumberjock). In one respect it looks too good to cut up. In another it could be cut into many...
