another big ash table

this is a truly big ash table!  80"
 square, 2.5" thick top with steel stiffeners

total estimated weight of the top, +/- 475 pounds.  i helped to load it, and it is all of that.

can't wait to see it in its new home ... 7/30 .. cell phone picture below..

looks like the chairs haven't arrived yet ...

lots of beautiful 12/4 ash from exclusively vermont hardwoods in bristol, vt

base with levelers and steel attaching strips

with one of the 1 x 3 x 74" steel stiffeners

i had the vermont coatings finish sprayed on by my neighbor bill tate ...

we actually didn't glue up the top until we got the 3 pieces to the spray booth ..
this one was a bear.  it was delivered to its new home yesterday ...

here are links to a couple of other 'big ash tables' ...
4.5' x 10' , 2011
and a recent one
42" x 10'8"

a 'whitewashed' ash table for the beach house

we are about to ship this one to martha's vineyard, hopefully later this week ..

made it in time for the 4th!

it's kind of a big one, 40 x 126 and the design is based on the 

table below we made in march of 2011.

coincidentally, that one wlso went to martha's vineyard ... 

the main difference is the thinner, narrower top and the whitewash vs,

the natural ash finish on the table above.

satin finish steel base by sam in the metalshop

same finish on this ash entry way piece we made a few years back.

all done, ready to roll ...
