    Dining Table Started

    I managed to get a start on my dining table today. The top will be made of 2 bookmatched figured cherry planks, each ~22" wide. I ripped each to allow planing (they had about 3/8" of cup), then jointed and planed them. I put some mineral spirits on just to see what I had - I was delighted!

    I will not be able to get rid of all the sap wood, so I will have to feature it on the outside edges.

    Cheers
    Hans

    That is one serious chunk of cherry.

    Can't wait to see the final.

    For best results, try not to do anything stupid.

    Hans, I assume those are flitch cut - they are gorgeous! This table is going to be a great addition to the chairs. I assume that is the intent?

    Hans --

    I'm like you, prefer to usually cut the sapwood out......BUT......

    this case I think you've got a winner of a TOP! It's going to add some beautiful accents -- nicely done!
