Wow! Beautiful table! My wife is looking to have me build our kitchen table. I will show her this. If she likes the look, would you have plans that you are able to share?

Very nice set. Looks great

-- Hey, It will always make good firewood!!

Andy this is a gorgeous dining table and chairs. I enjoy this style of furniture and cherry happens to be my personal favorite wood-so what is not to like about this project.

How did you finish these pieces?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Hand rubbed Watco Danish Oil. Natural finish.
Progressive wet sanding with 220, 320, 400, then 600 grits.
Finish with butchers wax with 0000 steel wool, let dry for 10 minutes, buff by hand with cloth.
Not as durable as a Poly finish, but makes repairs a lot easier.

Really nice work!

Andy,

That is a nice set, really pretty. How bout a couple photos of the underside, I’m interested in how you built the apron and legs and how you attached everything together. 85 inches long you say, it doesn’t look like you have any center legs, are you worried about sag? What is the size of the long side aprons?

great work !

-- POPSHOP ,

Just wanted to say you did a nice clean job. I like the chairs. Very nice. Todd

-- Do we do this for purpose or passion?

Beautifully done! I love the simple lines of the table and chairs as they allow the beautiful figured wood to dominate the room. My type of furniture.
