Trestle table legs completed

[lwhughes149]

Here are the trestle table legs completed as they receive coats of poly. Are you supprised at the size of the table? It will be 40' long to accommodate my son's small kitchen. I think they base turned out very well. The lessons learned will help me when I set out to make a larger trestle table for myself using cherry. Lorraine

John, feel free to pick my brain anytime. Maybe between the two of us my cherry trestle table will be even better than this one. This was a learn as you go. My model by the way was a book of Norm Abram's. I am honored that you wish to pick my brain. thank you. Lorraine

I have shown my wife your post and she likes the style.
I have the top laid out in the shop so now I need to look a the construction of the trestle.
Your trestle if you don't mind. You have a very nice project there.
You say that it is one of Norm's books that has this in it.
Which one would that be?

Thanks for your help now and in the future.
I will have my pics up during the construction process.
You know it's always hard to do that sometimes, to stop and remember to take those photos.

Do you have any of Norm's books? This book is in the shop but it is the one with the small chest of drawers, maybe maple, on the front of the cover. I ordered all of his books on line a couple of years ago. If I can help you with measurements or anything just let me know. Lorraine

Lorraine, You've already received many compliments on your fine workmanship, but I would venture that you'll get even more satisfaction in knowing that this is something that your son will enjoy owning for many years. I can just imagine the pride he will take in telling friends, "My mom made this." This will surely be one of his treasures.
