My most recent project, just completed and delivered to my son 3 weeks ago. He wanted rustic, tool marks, nicks – dings – the whole works.
I learned a lot doing this, but I think the most important lesson is that I’m too old to be lifting and handling a project this large. Got aches and pains in places I forgot about.
All pine, dyed, BLO, and light wax finish. He can nick and ding all he wants now, says it’ll add character.
Thanks for looking.

That’s one massive table! Did you have to deliver it to? I’m sure your son is thrilled with the end result. It looks great.

Eastern white pine, not as heavy as it looks. Top is a full inch thick.
He had to pick it up with his big SUV, I had to assemble on site.
Thanks for the comments.

Is that your design? I think I could picture knights sitting around eating whole animals with their hands … and wenches …

The design is similar to a furniture catalog picture my son showed me. I scaled dimensions for a nice fit into his dining room, gave him my drawings to review and approve.
The whole freshly cooked carcasses and wenches are his responsibility.
Thanks,

Great work! And impressive that it obviously involved a lot of hand tool work.

Wow it looks kind of Jacobean in style (just like my sister she has plenty of knocks and dings from losing her hair in a boiler explosion) such anice old design and workmanship is second to none.Alistair

An old coffin shaped wooden plane, cambered the iron for scalloped effect.
Thanks for looking.
