The smalting looks good on there.

The smalting looks good on there.

Yes thats the reason I chose to make a table out of it, originally when I set up to mill the tree it was going to be for shop shelves until I saw the spalting, I usually like harder woods for table tops.

Scott the top is 72x34 aprox.

Thanks Brian, but I meant the thickness of the top(sorry).
What angles did you find worked best on the wedges on the wedged French Cleat system? I'm really liking that
Any loosening besides normal seasonal humidity changes?

[Brian Harnett]

Scott, The thickness is 1.5 inches the cleats are 45 degrees and the wedges for top and trestle are 10 degrees.

Having someone drag some 7/4 Birdseye down from the rafters Sunday for a possible side table.
