Hickory Dining Table Rough Dimensioning

I started on my biggest project to date, a hickory dining table. It'll be 4×6' without its leaf, and 7.5' with it.

The top in four parts right now. I wasn't happy with how some of the boards turned out so I'll be hunting around for some more to finish the halves and get me a leaf.

The legs were from a 16/4 slab I got from a local sawyer for pretty cheap. It wasn't dried well so I've been doing a lot of resin work to fill and prevent the spread of checks. I'm hoping I'll be able to keep them around 3.5", we'll see how it goes.

Notching and Tapering Cherry End Table Legs

I notched the legs, and then decided they needed a taper so went back and did that as well. I'm going to have to do a bit of sawdust clean up as there are some gaps here and there, but not bad for my first attempt at this.

Spalted Maple Valet

His birthday has come and gone so it's safe to say that this was a birthday present for my BiL now. After sanding it up I finished it with my usual method: boiled linseed oil, danish oil, wipe-on polyurethane.

Mobile Work Table Frame

I've had these Douglas fir 4x4's sitting for half the year. I milled them up this past week and framed out the base for a mobile work/outfeed/assembly table that I can use at Technocopia . The plan is to fill it with four cabinets (two with drawers, one with trays and one for a dust cyclone) so I can bring everything into the workshop with me.
