The
lumber for the table top came from one matched set, all from the same
tree. Each board was around 14" wide and makes for a beautiful, unified
top. |
 |
The
top edge is molded with a thumbnail molding for both asthetics, as well
as comfort on your wrists when seated at the table. The apron
below holds the top flat, and is lined with a bead molding on it's
bottom edge. |
 |
The
table bases are joined using extremely solid, time tested
joinery. The column goes into the attachment plate with a double
wedged through tenon. The legs all attach to the column with a
7/8" thick sliding dovetail, and for extra strength there is a metal
spider on the underside screwed into the column and legs. |
| The
Jones Extending Dining Table is made of Black Cherry. It is built
to seat six people with no leaves, eight comfortably with both leaves
and ten folks in a pinch. The table is fininshed with boiled linseed oil, Waterlox varnish and paste wax. My signature and the date of completion are carved on the underside of the table top, and the underside of each base top plate. Photos of the building process can be found here. |
