    Kitchen Table Project - Finished

    Well, here it is. Due to the day job and family circumstances, this one took me 8 months from design start to finished delivery.

    60" long
    38" wide
    16" radius on the ends of the table
    Early American stain (Minwax)
    Semi-Gloss Deft Precat Lacquer
    Solid Red Oak
    The legs were purchsed from Osborne Woodworks to save money for the customer.

    Table and 6 chairs.....The customer bought the chairs unfinished and I stained and topcoated the chairs. Delivered all of it to the customer last night.

    Ah! it's finally done I saw bits and pieces while you were working on it, good to see the finished product.

    Great Work, but

    Who would expect anything less from Dennis?

    That's a beautiful table Dennis. I really like the details. The table shows off your excellent craftsmanship. A table like that would take me longer than 8 months and I don't have all the things in my life right now like the ones that keep you busy.

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I learned several things while working on this table and I'll try and share the most complicated parts (to me any way) here on the forum after I get all the pics done up.
