Getting the Big Walnut Table Together ..

We got the whole claro walnut table together for the first time today .... There's other stuff going on in the shop but I'll have to write about that later . We're off to see Iris DeMent in Middlebury in a couple of minutes ... click the photos to enlarge them ...
Here's the process ... We made jig for routing for half the base, routed inside that and then flipped it to complete the pocket ... The slab was too big and heavy to get upstairs to the cnc ... Anyway, it was dusty, but fine and the base is incredibly rigid ...
All bolted down to flip over ...
Flipped over .... with one of the ladderbacks from a November post that we're finally getting around to making ...
With some people for scale .... It's a big one .....
