Born Again oak tables.

Nice work and a good job of reclaiming. I’ll bet Mama is happy with the results.

You always amaze me Gord.
As always, an excellent result and great choice of design for the wood.

That’s nice Stuff Gord. My wife’s got me looking for wine casks now!

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

Gord,

REALLY nice work. Classic design. These are some of the nicest Stickley pieces, I’ve seen.

-- Bob

That’s one might cask!... and I’m just hoping for a barrel or two to roll my way.

Great second life you’ve given that wood!

Hello All,

Thanks so much for your kind words.
I would like to think that anyone given the chance at this material would have done the same thing.

All the best

Those are fantastic tables. Oak, in particular, just seems to get better with age.

Glorious set of tables.

I love to take trash and make something beautiful out of it. I once built a plant stand out of a pallet!

Beautiful tables! A great recovery

-- Spread love with our work

Very nice. How did you deal with the checking in the wood? Did you just cut around it?

Hi All,

Once again, thanks for your kind words.

Jon3, the wood was severly checked but thankfully it was an 1 1/2” thick so I had a lot of material to play with . The final thickness I milled the material to was 15/16”.

All the best
