Patio Dining Table
Jul 06, 2017
This is an outdoor dining table that I made for my wife. My brother was kind enough to give me the California Redwood for the top (it was sitting around his garage for 30 years). After gluing up the top, I hand planed it using an 80+ year old smoothing plane my father-in-law gave to me. I made the base from Southern yellow pine. All joints on the legs are pinned with dowels. The cross support is secured with knock down hardware, so it can be stored away easily for the winter. The legs are pigment dyed and the overall table top has 5 coats of outdoor polyurethane.

Beautiful!! Great job.
Beautiful job. That plane you have there looks like a No.8 Bailey plane. That is a jointer plane. Check out the cost of a similar plane by veritas or lea valley. They are all based on that design.
really nice work. congrats.
