A New Hall Table Project FINISHED

[Lord Nibbo]

Applying the Finish

Two coats of cellulose sanding sealer, both cut back with 0000 wire wool, then one coat of danish oil. Two more coats of danish oil should see it done.

Thats a really nice piece. Well done. I especially like the wedge tenon design, the X formation is one i intend to steal soon!

The handles are a tough one, i think i'd be tempted to go for a recess to the bottom edge though i do like the laminated ones. An idea tying to the wedged tenons- maybe a small rectangle of walnut with the same X of contrasting timber would look good?
IE it looks like the end of your tenons. Possibly bigger.

This is one of the great joys of design- these details make such a difference to the finished piece but there are so many options that will look good i think. Especially on such a well made piece.

Regards, Mattty

There's something about the way you use Walnut that I really like. Generally I think walnut is quite ugly in large pieces, but your pieces are always lovely, I can't wait to see the result.

Yes, you've managed to get a very nice contrast between the long rails and the intermediate pieces on the top. Looks like the finish came out great and, you're not afraid to use a little sapwood.

Finished all but for handles on the drawers I might even leave them off as the drawers can easily be opened using the lower edge. This first pic was taken using a flash although it shows up the finish well (note the can of lubricating wax reflection) it dosen't represent the true colours of the table.

Taken with no flash this pic does represent the colours well. The finish was two coats of cellulose sanding sealer knocked back with 0000 grade wire wool then two coats of danish oil each one knocked back again with wire wool, a third and final coat of danish oil as shown in the pic. A final touch will be a coat of Black Bison Paste wax in a day or two.

The final pic.

Many thanks for all the critique I hope you enjoyed the journey of this WIP

Lovely work.......I have thoroughly enjoyed following this thread. Well done, and thanks for posting so thoroughly.

I normally dislike walnut in large areas.......a bit 1970's for me, somehow, but you have managed to make this transcend that look. I like the fact that you have a distinctive style, but I have to say that I am not a big fan of the flat board look for legs. The top, however, is beautiful.

Your Lordship - nice piece. When you push one drawer in, do the other two pop out? - Rob

Excellent, very well done and I assume you are justifiably proud

Very nice piece. In fact Mrs. Sutton just looked over my shoulder and she likes it too, so 2 votes from here!

Cheers, Ed

Out of interest where do you purchase your wood, and whats the expected cost of a table like this to build, materials only! Just I am new to woodworking and want to try and build a few bits myself, but want to knwo where to get decent wood at decent prices etc.

Sorry forgot to mention, think the stuff you have built is awesome!
