one really wide slab of claro walnut
Aug 27, 2012
the finished table .. 60" x 96"
this piece of claro walnut came from goodhope hardwoods, in pennsylvanie … when it arrived here in dorset, it was too wide to fit in my truck and we had to build a little rack to put it on top of the bed .. after chopping it down some to get it to the dimensions requested by my client, the boys went at with a couple of makita power planers, some sanders and some stanley #81 two handled scrapers. my son sam welded up the 1.5×3″ steel tube base and we’ll be shipping it off to aspen this week … there are more photos and process comments on this table and several other large tables we have completed recently on our dorset custom furniture blog …
there are three posts …
