Were working on a distressed walnut table top for a client who has a masonry pedestal. Were just making the top and the apron/stiffener. Its nearly finished and looking pretty good. Click the photos to enlarge them ...
The rough lumber form Irion Lumber in PA ... Beautiful boards, all from the same log.
Glued up and cut to round with a circle cutting jig on the bandsaw.Heres one choice to do it ... circle cutting jig There are simpler ones, like a board and a nail
We like this next process. Its quite fun. You move the pin that you use to cut the table round out achoice from the blade and one person spins the table (Trevor in this case) and one person (me in this case) holds the belt sander square and level. Once that kicks in, then you actually have to keep the top from spnning too fast. Sanding the cut edge this choice takes only a couple of minutes .... Dont skip grits .... Dont let it take off ....
Trevor mortised the six round apron parts with the domino and glued them up in a circle using the band clamp, adding small moldings to the bottom edge to reinforce the glue joints.
View of the table bottom.More later this week as its completed
