Theres been so many great projects posted this month thought i keep the ball rolling.Tony ,Nick,Christopher,Randy were kind enough to post ,and Glens american classic arts and craft dresser amazing.
My table is reclaimed fir from a house built in the twentys.I was part of the renovation crew and saved the wood from being haled to the landfill.Most of what i got were the 4x4 post holding up the front porch.Rift sawn and mostly clear.
The wood was so very dry it resawd very nicely but.I tried to handplane as much as i could the wood was so dry left me scratching my head alot.I confess to using sand paper.
The finish is shellac garnet and blonde with a few drops of tint.
The glue is old brown
The Feet and handles are briar for making smoking pipes.
And my usual maple drawer runners,yellow cedar drawer sides and tru cedar drawer bottoms.
The table will be at the OC fair this summer if they accept my entry.Then it will be for me to enjoy.
I added some close up pics for you to see.Good thing i didnt comment on the layout lines thread in the hand tool forum my scribe line is showing.Oh my so its true. A closed mouth gathers no feet. Thanks for looking Andrew
