Dining Table Finished - Scoony - 05-20-2025
Brother came down this past weekend to pick up the table I built for him and his wife.
This is the table assembled in their dining room.

I built that side board in the background several years ago.

These are the bases and how they assemble. Wooden buttons fit into the slots in the beams and screw up into the underside of the top.

The hardest part of this project was dealing with the top. Finished size measured 84" x 45" x 1 3/4" and weighed somewhere around 170 lbs per a lumber weight calculator.
I do have a jointer, but usually always hand joint edges for glue-ups. I glued up the top in two halves. Here I am jointing the glue edge of one half.

Nice work - great job with jointing 84 inches with a hand plane.
