The rustic pine table was an amazingly large project to work on – so large, in fact, that it did not fit into our workshop, we had to build, assemble and finish it outside.<\/p>\n

First we\u00a0aligned the 2,5m by 1.4m table top with 13mm\u00a0dowels. The dowels were mostly to keep the top aligned lengthways, with added glue to\u00a0bind them.<\/p>\n

Next the frame was built. The next shot was taken halfway through this process, another two cross-beams were added for stability. Those cross-beams are 50mmx70mm and the legs are 114mm squares …<\/p>\n

The ends of the table was ‘breadboarded’ – a process where a plank is affixed to the end of a table with slotted mortices to allow for expansion. Between the first day the table top was assembled and the stage where it was stained, it widened by 15mm – in a period of two weeks – due to change in humidity. The top is assembled to allow for up to 50mm of movement.<\/p>\n

An ‘Old Oak’ colored stain was applied in two layers to completely seal the top and protect the wood from water, beer, and yes, tequila.<\/p>\n
