Dining Table
Got back to working on a table I started a while ago, we have decided it will be our new dining table since the wood is from a tree I took down 2 years ago.
I did not get around to milling it for a year so it spalted giving some character to the usually bland tulip poplar. After milling I put it the dehumidifier kiln dried out to 7%
The keys are Sapele.
The base will be a trestle design.
Instead of spraying finish my usual method it will be wiped on thinned poly
Our kitchen cabinets are also from trees we took down years ago.

Looks like fun.
This is the kind of table which is inviting. I'd enjoy setting down to dinner on a table like that. This kind of furniture doesn't look stiff and overworked.

Looks great Brian. So you don't try to glue up the panels? Just key them and put them on the frame? Bob

Yes the keys are plenty strong 1" thick epoxied in, I have made several tables like this on never had an issue The trestle base design also has support built in.
