Very nice work, sir. Very nice.

The old table is nice, too. :D

-- Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

I love this room of yours! You have wood on the ceiling, that’s just great. Very good job on the table. What size is the top?

Gorgeous dining room table. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

That is one fine table…The table appears to be floating in the middle picture up top. hahaha , YES , I’m sober : ) Great job !

Outstanding piece of work, John!

This is a very nice piece. I build Stickley nearly exclusively and the only thing I would say is to hold the top stretchers back maybe 1/2 ”. Beautiful tenon and dowel work. As I have said before, I love it when you guys aren’t afraid of big thick lumber. That’s what Craftsman is all about. Great work, great table. Carry on sir. Sorry about the veneer, though. As always, bbqKing.

Thanks for all of the comments.

Rob:The top is about 40 inches wide and 6 feet long.

BBQ: The wood is heavy.

It is hard to tell in the pics but the stretchers are 3/4” in from the edges of the top. Also the veneer is only two sides of each leg. The other two are solid quartersawn stock.

Nice work all the way around the horn from craftmanship to finishing. Nice choice of furniture to match your period house. Now it time to get busy on some chairs LOL…I hope that many happy meals will be enjoy on your new table….thanks for posting Blkcherry

John, Nice! That is quite a magnificent table.

I was just last week showing someone your dishwasher installation pix with the nice wood front you made. BTW, how are you liking that dishwahser?

-- John

I don’t know about the rest of your house but I have some great plans for matching bar stools. Big time arts & crafts. Email if you’d like. bbqKing. By the way, I can’t believe that guy thought that was part of your ceiling. That would be one big bolt.

-- bbqKing, Lawrenceville

blackcherry- Yeah chairs. Sigh…

woodspar- The dishwasher rocks. It has changed our lives in magical and mysterious ways.

bbqking: I’ll let you know about the stools. Thanks.

Nice job on the table and your home looks super too. Keep up the good work.

-- Only the Shadow knows....................

I don’t know…I like the old table…just kidding..

Giz, that looks fantastic! I just love that style, and the quarter sawn white oak is the perfect material. I love the thick legs and the through tenons. Nice work..

Thanks John and Brad.

I am sitting at it now, enjoying my dining room, having my first coffee. I have to get over the fear of messing it up.

Great job, John. It beats the heck out of you old table!

You get got the chance to also show off your house also. That is a great room, as I remember it well.

That card table was awfully nice, but I think the new one is just a tad bit better. ;)

-- You're a unique and special person, just like everyone else.

Beautiful!

Super! That’s not going anywhere…

Are you gonna take on the chairs? If so, do you have ideas re: chair designs…

-- Dorje (pronounced "door-jay"), Seattle, WA

Thats a nice dining table.

Dorje- I missed this the first time.

Yes I have plans for chairs. I want to do a trestle bench and two arm chairs. Time…...sigh.

What about when the top expands and contracts due to humidity changes?

-- CelticWoodworker

C.W. I drilled the holes for the bolts wide. Also it is quartersawn so the thought is that the top will expand towards the ceiling and floor more than along the width. Keep your fingers crossed. :)

What are the dimensions of your Stickley 622 dining table’s legs, upper and lower stretchers?

-- CelticWoodworker

Lovely job. I’m working on one now as well. You mention wanting to do a trestle bench to go with the table. Did you ever build one? Photos or a pointer to plans would really be appreciated. I’ve been searching for bench plans for a while now, and most that I’ve found look too “busy” for the clean lines of the table.

I have not yet done bench plans, but it will happen.

I mostly built the same table. I took the Stickley design and modified the length but kept the height. Are the pegs at a 5 degree mortise? I’ll pobably do ta threaded insert to attach the top. Did you assemble the entire table prior o fuming it with ammonia? I ask because I don’t know how ammonia reacts to metal bolts. I read that you shouldn’t put industrial strength ammonia in a metal dish.

Here is a link to the finishing blog I did

I don’t know the angle of the mortises, but the are angled. I cut them with chisels. I made the tusks/pegs first and used them to mark the angles for the mortises. If you cut the mortise so that it is deeper towards the table, it will really pull tight.
