Jarrah sewing/dining table

[Rocker]

Here are pics of the 1120 x 1700 mm jarrah sewing/dining table that I made over Easter. Flattening, thicknessing and jointing the boards for the top seemed to take forever, but got finished eventually. I had a fright when the glue-up of the top was completed. I left the top on my workbench overnight, and was disconcerted to find in the morning that it had cupped very noticeably, despite the care I had taken to alternate the boards. At first I had visions of having to rip the top into pieces and rejoint, but I eventually screwed two sturdy cleats to the underside (using slotted holes for the screws) to straighten it out. The finish is gloss polyurethane.

Did you make it out of leftover Jarrah from the hall table? ;) :D

Major,

I wish :) I had stock for the legs already, but I splurged about $600 on 14 m of 300 x 25 jarrah for the aprons and top. I still have some of that left over. Maybe I will get around to making a jarrah rocker one day.
