This is a table I just completed for my house. It is made of quarter sawn white oak, with a water based dye, shellac, and then oil & urethane finish. I purchased the wooden table slides, rather than try and build them, and it can accommodate two 11” leaves (shown in the last picture). It’s very solid, even with the two leaves in place. It’s my best effort to date, and my first “big boy” piece.
I detailed the build on my 5 part LJ build blog here…

I really like the design of the table. It looks great with or without the leaves. The color and figure of the QSWO came out perfect.
Those equalizer slides are nice too.

Ya, I don’t get tired of looking at your table man. For only being a woodworker a couple years, your putting out some nice work.
