Coffee table work in progress with Jack Daniels

[mmartone]

We cut this old spalted oak a while ago and Jack had it drying in his shop all this time. We ran a few 1" pieces through the planer and cut the edges flat for book matching a few weeks ago. Jacks got it together with some biscuits and then sanded it flat. He has 2 legs turned out of the pieces of drop we had from the log, heres a few pics.

Looking good.   Is Jack helping with the smoothness or the finish? ;D

[mmartone]

I know, pretty funny... But those are Jacks two hands in the picture, I was using mine to operate the phone/camera with the chipped lens.

[Mooseherder]

I like the hood vent picker upper.
Does it work well?

[mmartone]

Its connected to one of those big shop dust collectors, gets the dust but the big chips still fly!

Jack and Biscuits......now there's a working combination. 

[Hilltop366]

Did someone say Jack?

 

[mmartone]

I think we finished this spalted water oak table tonight, few little edges and stuff that needed addressing. Got Jack in a few pics as well. Yes that is the red oak we sawed last night for jacks bench top and a few other pieces.

WOW! !

Thats impressive!  Can't wait to maybe make something like that when I get the new barn built with a work area. Nice job. You keeping or selling it?

[thecfarm]

A nice project. I'm glad you saw that table in it.

[clww]

   Fantastic! 

[mmartone]

We are selling it. Most of what we sawed from these logs was in 2", so there are more tables in the future. All the 2.5x2.5x8' under it are going to be used for the wood working bench sitting on top of the 6x6 pine legs its all sitting on. There also 2 2x12 and 2 2x16 red oaks under there too.

That is a gorgeous table.

[samandothers]

That is really great looking.  Nice color on finish.  The spalted wood really makes a great look.

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

That's one NASTY table! (That what we say in the "Hood" for GORGEOUS.) 

[thecfarm]

Poston did not know you moved.  :D

[jamesamd]

[mmartone]

Well its done (tung oil and waxed) and I think it speaks for itself, thanks for looking and all the compliments!



 



 

[GAmillworker]

That is some great work.

I think you should be able to get a lot of interested buyers for that table.

[mmartone]

I'm not sure where to advertise it, we are working a few other projects so we have a few things to bring sell.
