After2-1/2 years on LJs, I thought it was about time to put a few of my projects up.
I just finished this walnut table a couple of days ago for some friends of ours. They lost their home in the tornadoes last spring so we decided to make them a housewarming gift for their new home. The plan is directly out of Woodcraft magazine from an issue earlier this year. I usually tweak plans out of different magazines, etc., but the only major change on this one is a strip of birch down the center to break up the table top surface, and I used poplar for the drawer instead of maple. I used shellac for the finish.

Jim,
I like the racing stripe down the middle. It does help to break it up and adds a bit of visual interest. I also like how you used one piece of wood wrapped around for continuity of the apron and door front too. Those 2-details can really bring a piece up a notch or two.
Nice table that I’m sure will be appreciated.
