32" quarter sawn oak table

A little bit of back story,

 

 

 This table this was copied from one belonged to the wife's great grandmother, our house burnt too a total loss about 3 years ago, the original was lost and it could not be replaced. I guess things are going pretty well in the Raef household to be concerned with the loss of such an item, but it had came up more then once recently so I sourced some oak and here is the product.

 

The table this replaces was a neat old table but it was a bit rough and this was left that way as well…

Thanks guys,

 

I have built a lot of things for need and money, this little table has reconnected me with "the joy of the hobby" I bought 120 BF of walnut last week, it's calling  me as I type… :D

Walnut does speak loudly and it's pretty much like a 10 year old who decides what he wants for Christmas and then changes and changes again....it will try to tell you allllllll sorts of things that it wants to be.  You may need to buy more.

Your avatar is (I assume) you on the motorcycle....little chilly in Indiana right now to ride yes?

Oh, heck no! Just need to wait for the snow to be moved.

I used to ride nearly everyday unless the streets were snow covered, now I do more industrial maintenance than commerical construction so I drive about 50-60k miles a year and no riding to work, that puts a big dent in seat time.

Right now the bike is tucked away and covered up in the basment, it may not see pavement till spring ;(

"Bike in the basement"....I just think of the logistics involved and say wow.  Is this done through the house or does the basement have an outside entrance?

 

Just talked with one of my customers yesterday who is working in a home in an exclusive gated community.  They're putting down 3/4" walnut flooring.  He has piles of 'scrap' walnut to give me 1'-5' long....I'm like a kid at Christmas.

The house is less than 2 years old and I have yet to get the garage finished, I have self performed nearly the entire construction so it takes time, I have just now got to my spaces and that is how I found this forum. I had planed on this lift from the start and the wife never could figure out what the hole was in the front of the garage LOL
