Walnut table top progress
#11
I'm in the process of making a walnut dining room table. This is a picture after rough sanding and putting mineral spirits to get an idea of what the grain will look like. Book matched walnut boards from a large tree that i cut down 2 years ago. 42" x 87" x 1.5". I think the grain came out well. Still have a lot to do to the top but couldn't wait any longer to see what it's going to look like. Doing a mockup of the base to see how it looks with the top so i can finalize the base dimensions and look.

That is an absolutely beautiful table top.  Bet its a bear to wrestle around.  Trestle legs with stretcher?

Put it through the jointer on one side and hand plane the other side. I have a 12" jointer so was able to do half then turn it around and did the other half.
