Coffee Table

Looks very nice especially for a first. Did you allow for wood movement in the bread board ends?

Robbi,

Very nice workmanship! Beautiful table. Be proud of it, because that’s what it’s all about. Pride in your work clearly shows.

Very nice table, you should be very proud of yourself. The top is beautiful with the multi-colored oak.

I didn’t expect so many nice comments, thank you. Dewoodwork, yes, I believe I left room for wood expansion on the breadboards. I did this from a plan. I would actually do the joinery different if I did it again (which I probably will because one of my daughters is already eyeing this one). The underneeth side of the top is joined with pockethole screws. One of my daughters gave me a biscuit cutter for Christmas, it seems like that would have been better. Also, as it sits in my house, I notice the edges of the top at the rabbit joint need to be sanded again. The finish on it is velvet oil, so I may just sand it again, or not.

Great job Robbi. Are the legs solid, or hollow? I like the mission style look here.

Bill, each leg is 4 pieces of wood cut with 45’s and then glued together. Thank you MsDebbie, I must say, reading your blogs and looking at your work kept me very entertained while I was trying to decide if I was going to join or not, then I took the leap.

I thought that might be the case Robbi, as the way the grain shows on each side. I like this piece. It sounds like you have a few more coming up. A good way to try out that biscuit joiner.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

lol Robbi.. well, I’m glad I could be so entertaining and perhaps inspire you to join :)

That is a very nice coffee table! I have to add that furniture item to my own building list.
More women should get involved in woodworking. We’re all looking forward to your next projects.
