kitchen table
Project Information
this kitchen table was made about 18 yrs ago when i remodeled our kitchen,after years of wear and tear it need a facelift.everything was sanded down and the bottom trestle was given an overlay to cover up the look the wife never liked.the wood used is maple with oregon mrytle wood on the table top with a little bit of cherry accents.i know some are gonna ask how i allowed for expansion,i didn't the top is just boards glued together with cross pieces and a lot of screws,sort of like how plywood is constructed.in 18 yrs it has never cracked.the finish used was 5 coats of general finishes satin gel topcoat rubbed out with two coats of black bison wax polish.hopefully good for 18 more.
