This is a table I built at work for my newly elected boss. The mayor’s old conference table was plastic laminate. So this was quite an improvement. The table tops are two pieces of plywood ( 1 pcs 1/2 birch for bottom & 1 pcs 3/4 walnut) laminated together.There is a 2” band of walnut solid stock splined and glued to the edge of the two tops. There is also a 8’ 3” radius on each end.The legs are a basic narrow plywood box with 5/8 thick frrames laminated to it. Then trim and base mold is added. The aprons fit into mortises in the 5/8 frames. They are bolted together though the box into threaded inserts in the aprons.Ther is also a small access door for the wiring for thr data port in the tables top. It was stain with a laquer based stain( heritage cherry I believe). Two coats of shelac and three to four coats of precat laquer. Hope you guys enjoy as much as the mayor is.
