White Oak Table
Hi All,
I recently finished this table (Actually before Christmas). I think it has come up pretty well considering this is my first dining table build.
The table is 2100x1200.The legs are laminated 100x50 stock and the stretchers are laminated onto some poplar to give them some extra beef. The top is three peices. The legs and stretchers are joined with an old fashion motice and tenon joint. I had the glued up top sanded flat at a cabinet maker which made the process much easier.
The finish I used was sourced from a local eco paint store in Surry Hills. The first coat was a white tinted impregnating layer. The top coat is clear no/low sheen surface layer. I applied both finished with my Earlex HVLP gun (Which is a pleasure to use...thanks WW). The black shadow line was done with a combination of black shellac and black texter.
Any way...here are the pics.

Yep, beautiful. Nice to see something simple but elegant. The shadow line really makes a difference.

Very nice table and the shadow line is most effective. I assume that you did the recess shown on the end to better show the shadowline .
Have you done this on the sides as well?

That's a good idea in the detail of the top of the legs.

Nice table mate, interested to know though, how was the taper on the legs done after glueing up? also, do you use corner blocks? i really like the cut out flowing from the top into the legs, very nice!

Nice job!
.
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

That looks really nice, and is very similar to the one I'll be making soon.
How does the taper look on the laminated legs? I don't like my chances of getting hold of 100x100 stock in my chosen timber (NZ Tawa), but I'm a little unsure about how a straight lamination line will look against the angled taper.

I glue a veneer on the faces showing the glue line after I have cut the taper,and arrass the edges so that the veneer glue line is on the edge and not noticed. Originally Posted by NZStu

Yep the shadow line detail goes all the way around.
The taper was done before glue up...as you can see on the photo with the clamps on. The photo with the square legs is dry fitted. I did not use corner blocks, but the cross braces on the underside are about 60x100 which keep it very square. I also used about 30 cleates to hold the top on.
The detail on the top was done after glue up. I positioned the top in the final location and setup a vertical jig to route out the curve. I then flipped the table over and used a strait bit and guide to route the long cut out to match the depth of stretchers.
The grain of the oak is pretty wide and strait so it makes the lamination pretty hard to see in the legs. Though the veneer lamination is a good idea.
