Here it is delivered and installed. These are some of the finished pics at the customer’s home. This project took me about 3 1/2 months to complete. It was actually a lot harder to make than I thought. Bread board ends and pull out extension support were a bit of a challenge. They look so easy when you “read the article”.

Absolutely gorgeous. I’m building allot of small projects right now to learn and improve my techniques, but someday I hope to be able to build some beautiful furniture like this.

At the size that table already is, did they really need the extensions.lol. That is a very impressive table, very elegant but rustic at the same time. I like it!

Beautiful workmanship Steve, very cleaver on the pull-outs, I love the breadboards and the contrasting colors – very striking! -

All – thanks for the very kind comments!!!

Mike, thanks!! No, there was no veneer … this was solid 8/4 cherry … by the time it was finished it was 7/4.

Dick, sorry I could not find the PWW blog on table extensions. Could you post or send me the link. The extension design I can’t take credit for. This design was suggested by a woodworker in Israel though the FWW Knots forum.

Thos., check out the link to the other construction pics (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephenalanfuniture/sets/72157602156952081/) these may help to explain the extensions. If not, I can send you a drawing the shows it better. Just let me know.

Sgt_Lobo, no time like the present to start building the big stuff. I’m no pro, I just love the challenge.

Thanks for posting the slide show…very interesting. I hope the customer can appreciate just how much effort and care went into this table! I bet installing the breadboard ends was very satisfying when it all came together. Thanks for sharing!
