QLD Maple Dining Table
Haven't really got much WIP pictures but here's the finished work
I had to bleach the wood due to the client wanting a more blonde timber after the wood was bought.
The only glue used was to join the top. The rest of the joints are dry. Pegged mortise and tenon joints from the frame, dovetailed bracing and floating dovetails to join the top to the frame. Finish was a blend of tung and boiled linseed oil, gum turpentine and poly. Waxed twice before delivery. Dimensions 2400x960x720.
Wood from Boutique Timbers.

Agree with.
I particularly like the clean simple lines of the piece.

very good
your work is really very good, when I see the starting material and then view the finished work, again I'm amazed at the transformation.
You client must be very happy.

Thanks all.
The bleach was the A/B variety. I couldn't find an off the shelf product so had to get some sodium hydroxide and concentrated hydrogen peroxide. It was a bit difficult to control, but it worked out well!

If you deal with the lowest bidder it is well to add something for the risk you run.
And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better"

Nice work Enak, with one of our great Aussie hardwoods.
The time we enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
