Farmhouse Table Complete

[bluthart]

I just finished another project for my designer friend - a farmhouse table made out of (you guessed it) wormy maple, finished with dark walnut and matte polyurethane. Fun project - hope you like it.



The last photo is the remodel where the table landed.

Nicely done Brian! I like how rustic it is , it works great in the custom alcove you have too.

Nice job, Brian. Did you take any WIP pics? I'd be interested in seeing some of the joinery techniques, especially the tops and bottoms of the post.

Well done! It fits perfectly within the room shown. That last photo could easily be in a home magazine.

Could have come right out of a catalog. Also curious about the joinery.

Nice table..!! This table actually suits in the room and all the setting is also done properly.

Thanks for the comments guys! I cut a 3/4" rabbet for the post bottom and brought in screws from the bottom, and glued. Very tight joint. I then used 8/4 scraps to block the top of the post on each side. The blocks were screwed and glued to the top, then the post was glued and screwed to the blocking. Again, very sturdy. I used oak dowels to attach the bread board ends, and put walnut plugs in for contrast.
