muninga/padauk dining table

[ron david]

Wow...dude...that is AWESOME!

Is that an extension table? Is it your own design?

in response to your pm on how the top was fastened

you can see the elongated screw holes in the skirt. they are also the same in the piece that connects the end skirt to the centre leg. here is also an end view of how the skirt was made. the top mounting piece on the muninga skirt was a hair wider

the top only cleaned up at about 13/16" thick. I took the offcuts and developed a false bottom edge of about 5/16-3/8(in that area) to make it appear heavier to match the base. matched up the grain from the offcuts to match the top boards and it breaks right on where the bottom bevel begins. this gives the impression of a top with thickness of a full 1 3/16". every exposed edge on the table has a bevel. they are all different sizes

Do yuo have many more pictures of the build? Would you be willing to share them?

[Sam Murdoch]

Yes indeed - exceptionally nice work. I must admit to being stumped as to how this opens and closes though, i.e., what parts stay put and what parts move or are removed? I can't see it from my house.

just stand on one end and gently just give it a pull back about 1 1/2". there are 4-2' leafs in the middle. it is on sliding table extenders. if you want to close it up to 8' you will have to take out the middle legs. other wise the middle leg set up will adj to spacing
here it is at 8'

Fantastic !!! I love the design !

[Jim Becker]

Really, really beautiful. And I love those curved stretchers in the last shot. Magnificent work!

[Gordon Eyre]

Outstanding work. That is a massive table but looks like it fits well in the setting. Well done.

the original pictures at the start of the thread have all seem to have vanished



all of the red from the padauk has gone and darkened and is now starting to lighten
