Very nice – my kind of a table. do you have a shot of the support structure underneath the table top?

Many thanks

very nice table Asa, I like the natural edges, and those boards are gorgeous!

That straight gap in the middle really adds a lot of interest and character to the piece, very interesting.

Thanks for posting, and Welcome to Lumberjocks!

This is a really nice project! I love the walnut as well as the overall form of the table.

Does the lower stretcher sit directly on the ground, or is it off the floor a tad? I would imagine if it sat directly on the floor it would wobble with any imperfections in the floor surface, right?

Thanks for posting this – you did a fantastic job!

Yup, lower stretcher sits right on the floor, like the bottoms of the trestle feet. When I get a chance I’ll shoot a shot underneath…

Looks great. I love the butterfly keys joining it. How big is your band saw? Even with ripping it they still look big.
Great job Asa. Jerry

Good eye, jerry. Yeah, I’ve got a big bandsaw now, but at the time I had a standard 14-in. model, so I resawed them on the 18-in. Agazzanni at the FWW shop!

I like this. It is so clean, neat, and natural looking. The wood is beautiful.

Outstanding !!

This Table has it all, eye popping grain, live edge, clean lines and a great finish with bow ties for ornamentation.

Exceptional fit and finish.

Thanks for sharing. – Len

All the credit goes to George Nakashima, one of the fathers of fine woodworking. His books are a must read, and a must see. And his daughter, Mira, is still running the family furniture making business in New Hope, PA:

My table is an homage, almost a direct reproduction. Designed in the 1960s (I believe) and still beautiful.
