Table Project (updated and completed)
I recently found an online source of cheap green oak. I ordered some for some garden projects. I was soon in possession of some 4x8 green oak sleepers and some 2x8 planks. In my mind I formed the idea of a backyard dining table.
Here is the progress made so far. I have formed the legs and cut the mortises and tenons to join them.
The table top consists of four planks which are glued and I am in the process of planing flat.
And here it is completed.
And some details. The cross piece on the trestle is held in place with wedges or 'dogs' as they are often called are the carved heads of dogs modelled after Vicki's dogs Elliot and Bessie.
