My wife wanted a smaller coffee table for our cabin, so I bought a slab of walnut and decided to keep it rustic looking. Here is the result. I didn’t want anything fancy since it is a cabin. It is finished with Danish oil (natural) and 4 coats of poly. The legs are made from another piece of walnut that I had laying around.
To attach the legs, I routed out the underside of the table and fitted the legs in using gorilla glue and a support piece with screws for each leg. It may not be the best way of fastening the legs. I just hope it holds up.

Nice looking table! I love walnut. Is that a cut off the side of a crotch? The bias cut is cool, I like the way it exagerates the grain.

Nice table. I don’t think you will have any problem with the legs holding up as Gorilla glue is a polyurethane type moisture cured glue that will fill any gaps of a loose joint. I think if it were my project it would have been the glue of choice. Nice job

Very nice walnut and great finish.
-- I cut it twice & it was still too short
Have your say...
