Here’s a heart pine harvest table I made for my cousin and his wife. They’ve been building a new home and asked me if I would build them a table for their kitchen eating area. This is actually my very first commission. The wood is 100+ year old heart pine from a store my great grandfather used to own. It measures 6’ x 3’-6” x 30” high. The joints are mortise and tenon. The finish is 7 coats of Waterlox rubbed on and topped off with with Renaissance Wax. This is my first time using Waterlox I think it really brings out the beauty of the old pine. All comments and criticism welcome.
Here’s a few pictures of the last stages of finishing.

Thanks guys! This one was a real tester for me, but well worth the effort. Karson: No I didn’t build the chairs. I really thought the design on them was unique and very pretty. Actually, my cousin said something about replacing them, but I think they go great with the table. Thanks again, ya’ll make it all worth the while.
