Working for a construction company, I have access to as much yellow pine as I can imagine…However it’s scrap pieces. I took it upon myself to build a card table because I have always wanted to build my own furniture. It’s one of my goals in life. So here is what I have so far. I’m currently working on the top (and working on ripping my hair out) but I will add to this when its complete. Also, sorry the pictures are so dark, Wisconsin has been rather frigid this winter so the work is happening indoors.

I see the table design. So the only way to get it flat will be to work with the top. Take the top into the house and let it get acclimated to the warmth and then try to get it to level using your winding sticks.
Good luck,

Draven,
Looks GREAT.
I just read your posts regarding the troubles in levelling and came to Projects to see. I hope all has worked out.
I can tell you. Do not be bashful in asking at LJ. I have asked some whoppers and read some. Your post regarding level was a great way to pass info to others along with helping self.
I to am new to this Org. and new to woodworking. In fact I have NOTHING to show for my hobby just yet. I do have an antique dinner table I had refinished YEARS ago, made several walking sticks YEARS ago but nothing recent. I had been repairing the exterior of the home over the past 3 years then this summer a good friend asks if I could use a Radial Arm Saw … hmmm free power tool hmmm. So I have assumed a new hobby. Once the home is done I will get into uuhhmm dunno yet. It sounds like you and I have the same TS … laughable.
All that to say. Congratulations on your WONDERFUL project, Looks great.
PS an old guy once told me the difference between a carpenter and a good carpenter. The Good Carpenter can make a mistake and then hide it (from most eyes) with trim.
