Custom Kitchen Table - Reclaimed douglas fir

Just a bunch of left over stuff

Nice day to make a table

Believe it or not I actually picked out my favorites out of that big pile

I'm starting to get excited

Now I'm stoked!

Into the shop for some initial layout.  I just don't throw the boards together, it takes time to pick the best spot for each one.

Time to glue and clamp 

Clamp city is forming

All glued and clamped up, now time to cut this thing down to size

I love being in the shop

Filling the holes with clear epoxy keeps them black and is super cool

Close up!

After filling the cracks, nail holes, and sanding, it's time to router the edges. We did a 1/4" round over for this. I like it better then a full bullnose.

First coat

Second

5 coats.  All done by hand with a brush

Ta da.......

The base is metal powder coated black. 

I dial in all the exact details with the clients prior to the construction

Little G checking it out.

A very satisfying job well done. On to the next piece of furniture!
