a large square white oak dining table

 

we delivered this table actually a couple of months ago, but i have

totally been slacking off in my blog posting, working slowly on my

'old man project'

scroll down  ...  so far i have covered from 1969 to about 1999 ...

anyway, it is a six foot by 6' by 1.75" thick white oak top with 

steel base ... the clients requested that we stain the top

and paint the base to match their existing porch furniture .. 

the paint job was a little tricky, but kristian pulled it off .. 

at some point we calculated that the top alone would weigh about 350 pounds

when it was glued up and finished, so we decided to leave it in two pieces

in case it would ever have to be moved in the future ... we also added 

two pieces of 1 x 3 steel tubing routed into the bottom, outside the base

 to keep things flat over time and help connect the two halves.

3 x 3 x 1/4" wall tubing base by sam 

and that's about it .. all in, all done

great spot!
