I love the grain matching in the top! Beautiful balance between the opposing sides. Anyone that can make a sturdy, comfortable chair has my instant admiration. Good job.

What a wonderful table Tony. It is a great show case of your skills.

Very nice … how many board feet do you think this project took?

The table took 54.27 bf and the 6 chairs took 27.81bf, total of 82.08 bf. Apart from the table top all the rest of the timber used is 1/4 sawn

Terrific result, Tony. I’d be very proud to make something that nice.

Such a nice looking table set Tony. I am sure the customer will be well pleased with this set.

Just gorgeous-

Above you said, the top was 3 boards wide, though did you mean it was made from three boards, each resawn for a total of 6 boards wide?

Excellent job on the table top and table. Nice chairs, too. 1 3/4” thick top, whew that’s thick. Thanks for posting with English units, I have trouble picturing metric deminsions, even though I am trying to use metric a little more in my woodworking.

Dorje – None of it was re-sawn. The outside two boards are narrower planks, cut in half length ways.

The centre board was a really wide board – This is the two outer halfs (the centre was not too nice).

So yes there were a toatal of six sections. each section was re-jointed and biscuited, this was to help with the stability.

Here are some of the original planks of lumber (18”wide, 8/4)

Great job Tony.

Tony, this is gorgeous! The fact that only the two middle pieces have the rays really makes them stand out. If the entire thing was quarter sawn with those rays it might have been overwhelming. But this is perfect. Nice design and perfect finish.
