#1 | | Finally finished! walnut dining room table Name: Ben City: Chapel Hill State: NC County: Orange Join Date: Dec 2008  08-20-2009, 10:36 PM
Thanks for all your advice during the project! Methinks I would have never finished without my friends at ncwoodworkers!
the specs:
103" Long x 46" wide
finished with BLO and waterlox
Walnut salvaged from a friends yard after a lightning storm; to the sawmill and then in the attic for a decade or so; after a few years on and off, many mistakes, lots of cursing sounds coming from the garage, we can finally EAT!     | | Views: 571 | |
