isn't my manufacturing process, its just the way it happens most time. Just in time for Christmas dinner I finished this for a customer, locked the shop door and dropped off the key to her mother, my neighbor and went out of state for Christmas. I hope they brought enough help to load it, that sucker is heavy, it is solid red oak and planed down from 6 quarter stock until it clears up, got about 1-1/4" on the top and aprons, loose tenons (1/2" baltic birch plywood) with 1/2" oak dowels through the legs, aprons and tenons. Lots of trouble turning the legs, I resharpened the gouge and couldn't control it, guess I have lost what touch I had.
Now its back to working for food, really, making table tops for my local favorite resturant, after I make one, we settle up and I always have to pay, its really hard when your widdered and can't cook, or is that too lazy to cook.
