Davesfunwoodworking,
Glad to see you’re still having fun-the walnut is simply stunning. Great job on the legs also-how easy were the bottoms of the apron to make? That is a beautiful table overall. I don’t even drink tea, but would enjoy being seved the same from a table like that! Congratulations, on an excellent build.
Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

That’s definitely one classy tea table. The walnut is beautiful. I like the book matched pull out slide as well. Thank you for sharing.

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

The aprons are done in 2 parts whit the bottom done with a hand file and a smalll hand plane. I had to shape them then glue them to the mail aprons. It was a challenge from start to finish with the whole table. But I learned so much more than when I started. Also thank you for the kind words and yes I try to always have fun with what ever I am doing.

Gunstocks for firewood?! There ought to be a law against that. Anyway, thanks for saving them from “going up in smoke”. That is an incredible table and you did a fantastic job. I absolutely love the top.

Thanks for posting it.

Very nice looking tea table, I can’t belive someone was going to burn that wood.

-- Glenn, New Mexico

Whats sad about it all is that the lady I got the wood from burnt two 15ft by 20ft buildings full from the ground up about 7ft tall. She called me about 2 months ago and said she is almost out and wanted me to come get the rest if I wanted it. I am going back as soon as I get more pine or oak firewood.

That’s where the true old saying goes,,,one mans trash is another mans treasure, man you hit part of the mother load there, to bad you couldn’t of saved all of it though. I get tons of wood from the trash heaps myself and see what I can make with them, but,,, nothing like you, wow beautiful table I just hope I can get half way to your level of expertise before I check out but doubtfull, Thanks to you and all the others for sharing,every day I just get blowed away. Keep up the good work dude the world is a better place thanks to people like you for bringing such beauty out of the burn piles
