final dining table pictures

[thsb]

i am struggling loading pictures and have to get back to work but there are a couple of more in the gallery. i have finished my dining table and my wife loves it so all is good. I definitely learned some lessons and it is hard to overlook the mistakes but I am happy with how it looks.

I appreciate all the help that people gave me as I learn how to do things. I beefed up the apron, permanently attached the apron to the legs, and fixed a lot of the shellac issues based on feedback i got here.

the table top edges have a 15 degree bevel. the legs are made from 12/4 hard maple. the aprons 2 4/4 maple pieces (making it 3 inches by 2 inches) that are glued together. i had a cup in the top that i was able to screw down and i think i have accounted for wood movement adequately.

next step is making benches out of hard maple, using the same design (De La Espada) that i borrowed for the table.

Beautiful!!!!!

Exceptional and extremely clean looking design... everything looks so flat - loving it I can almost hear the top going pop pop pop as it moves along the aprons especially on a day like today. Just tell the wife if she comments on the popping noises, that solid wood moves according to the weather, just like my old joints pop and creak so does wood

if this table pops like my knee i will be disappointed! ;-).

if the boss is happy with it, you should be too! Looks great :eusa_clap

And don't worry, after the kids are done with it, all those minor flaws won't be noticed

The table looks great and I especially like the bevel on the edges; it just looks "right".

Outstanding is an understatement.

Outstanding job Tim. Congratulations for persevering so now you and the family can enjoy it.

What are the final dimensions?

Sure beats the $4,000 that De La Espada wanted for their version.
