I’ve posted this project before, but I wanted to show it off again now that the leaves are finished. I took some pictures with the table fully extended. That’s a lot of cherry!
It’s taken more than a year (although I took a break to make my daughter a bed during that time) but it was well worth it.

No stain on this one, just Danish oil and wax. I’m looking forward to the changes in tone as it ages.

Bob,
Looks good. The table has a nice rich color already. It looks like you have it in a nice bright room so that color will just keep getting better. Nice job. How does the table extend? Are you using extension slide or just leaf supports?

I used extension slides. They were pretty easy to install and do a good job of holding the leaves steady.

I really like the finishing job you did, the Cherry will be able to show it’s own character as it ages. You should be able to enjoy many years of building memory’s of family dinners at this table. A job very well done, Congrats!!
