walnut drop leaf Dinning table in Maloof style

This may be my favorite piece so far. It took a lot time just keeping all the board, for the top, matched up. Every time I’d have to cut, joint or sand something id spend 20 min or more getting them back in the correct order. I think it was worth it for the consistency. Please contact me if you have any questions about the construction or purchacing.

Excellent work. Definitely a tribute to Mr. Maloof. Beautiful photgraphy as well.

May I ask a bit on what finish you are using on your pieces? It looks very nice.

Fantastic! Any chance we could get an underneath view to see how you designed the leaf hold ups?

This is an amazing piece!

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I didn’t have the hold outs done at the time of this photo shoot so I don’t have any pro shots if of them. I will take a couple with my camera and post them ASAP.

Mark, the Finish I like is just a basic wiping varnish, 1/3 Poly, 1/3 build Linseed oil 1/3 Mineral spirits.
Need to sand down to about 400 and then burnish it with 0000 steel wool. I couldn’t ask for a better looking finish and it’s very easy.

Turned out beautiful..the leaves cascade from the top like a waterfall. The figure in the top is just splendid.

How did I miss this before?
Good looking piece.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

This is an awesome table. I can’t look at it enough. So is the hinge a metal rod or wood?
