love this table

I have always wanted to build one of these! I really like the finish, too often it seems people over-stain projects which look good at the time but in ten or fifteen years the color is out of style and the piece becomes awkward. Clear finish on gorgeous wood never goes out of style though, great choice.

Looks like a heirloom to me :)

how are the breadboards fixed to the top? is it with glue only? pegs?

Hey Purp
I cut out the tongue of the bread board with several tenons I glued the center tenon and pegged the others with elongated holes for wood movement
