Dining table I made for a local couple, modeled after a traditional italian peasant table.
93” long, 40” wide, 30” tall.
The top was made from three 8/4 boards, 8’ by 15” wide.
The legs and aprons all came from 4/4 material.
Aprons are dovetailed, legs are inset flush with aprons.
Lots of great figure in the top.

Very Nice. Love that walnut. Where were these peasants from an Italian Beverly Hills?

The finish is just satin poly, brushed on, 4 coats, very light p400 sanding between each. The woman this table was built for grew up in northern italy and her family members all had tables like this. Apparently a peasant table is the italian version of an american farm table. Only probably not made of walnut!
