A Christmas present for my wife. Big Leaf Maple for the top and legs with some Eastern Maple and Black Walnut for the stretcher. The top just on loose mortise and tennons and the stretcher is held in place with the two tapered pegs. No mechanical fasteners on this baby. It’s gotta have room to move and breath!

The wood came from a tree that was taken down here on Whidbey Island. I was fortunate enough to be given the 7’ x 13’ trunk section! After fending off the firewood mongers that were after it like a pack of wolve, I had it slab milled, kiln dried and now it’s in my wood shed. I’m forever amazed at what beautiful wood most people will carve up with at chainsaw to simply burn, never to be of use again. I’ve got litterally tons of it and it’s all just incredible. Every slab has all the figure and character that maple is known for. Just an incredible piece of nature. Thanks for the kind comments.

God could have made utilitarian materials to look sterile and mundane, but it’s just not His nature.

Beautiful table. BTW I think tapered pins count as mechanical, the wedge giving mechanical advantage and all. Nerd, sorry.
