Now that is a table! Looks fantastic. I love it.
Thanks for sharing.
I think I need some oak now… :)

Beautiful table!

that is really nice and study, beautiful QS oak. Are the legs 3 1/2 inches?

That’s a great-looking table! How did you attach the breadboards?

-- -=Pride is not a sin=-

Great table. Love the design joinery aspects. Will you be making chairs or benches for it?

Very nice one!

Grfrazee,
The breadboard ends consist of a stopped mortise cut at the router table. Then I deepened sections of the mortise at the mortiser to accomodate the 2” tenons. The tenons were cut with a router and breadboard edgeguide.

Dustysawyer,
Luckily the chairs are already completed!

Lanaug –
The legs are 3-7/8” square. They are glueups to show quartersawn grain on all four sides.
Thanks

what’s the finish?

-- Matt, Pine is fine, but Oak's no joke!

Interesting. Looks like you could drive a truck over it!

-- Have a blessed day!

I’m also planning to make an A&C dining table this winter and had planned on a top of 42” by 72” to seat 6 in a 12’ by 12’ room…..but I was thinking to do a simple base with four legs at the table corners connected by 4” aprons to give all diners ample leg room…..does your base restrict leg room or become an issue when seated at the table ??

rlance,
I would recommend careful layout and planning of your table in the dining area it will be placed. For tables like mine, I always allow 46-48” between the legs so two chairs can fit between them. The chairs are 18” wide, so this allows plenty of room for seating. If your table will be much less than 74”, I might consider moving the legs to the corners of the table.
I also consider how far the table overhangs the frame on the ends. For tables like this, I like to have 10-12” overhang minimum.
Of all table types, 4 legs at the corners probably offers the most leg room. That style offers the weakest leg-to rail strength, but there are ways around that. That will work fine for a fixed table, but consider additional support if it is an extension table.
Tbone had a nice Stickley table like that http://lumberjocks.com/projects/31842
