Our new dining table is nearly complete! My amazingly handy pops and I worked tirelessly for two consecutive days – the only part left is probably another day of sanding, planing and varnishing the table top. The table top and frame is reclaimed wood taken from shipping crates out of Indonesia. The guys at the yard called it “java mix.” The 4 X 4 legs are reclaimed Douglas Fir…I would have preferred some 5 X 5 oak beams, but they were $150 more. 😦 I’ll make sure to post some more pictures after it’s completely finished because a few coats of polyurethane will really make the colors on the top stand out.
All in all, I’m just happy my design worked and the table didn’t collapse when we put the two thousand pound table top onto the legs.
My business partner will be out here in a few weeks. Orders can be placed in September. 🙂
A Family Record
