My brother in law recovered some mahogany boards from a job site so i jumped on the opportunity to use some real quality lumber in a project. Using the Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table plans as a guide i built this 500lbs beauty. Boards are joined with biscuits, legs are glue joined and 4x4. legs are bolted to table top with 3/8-16 bolts and nut inserts. 6 inch black steel 5/8 11 bolts and nuts were used to hold the cross beam.
I decided to use tung oil on this dense wood with no stain at all.
The whole project took about 2 months working weekends. If you have any questions about the project you can contact me at [email protected]. I am going to sell it since i dont have a need for it or the room.
