A friends wife contacted me one afternoon back in September, inquiring as to my availability to build a new dining table for them. After some discussion and lengthy decision making process on the design, style, and type of wood I began construction. This is the dry fit assembly of the table. I used mortise and tenon joints on the lower part for this table. Originally we discussed simpler and cheaper pocket hole joinery but I felt that a table shouldn’t need to be tightened up with time and get all wiggly like my current store bought kitchen table has a tendency to do periodically. More on this project as it progresses.

Great looking woodwork.
Beautiful shapes and surfaces.
Thanks JRN! I’m just about done with the finish work and will post a picture of the final product. I’m pretty pleased with the way it came out. I hope the customer for whom it is built likes it as much as I do.
