I posted this one to !woodworking@lemmy.ca too, as I do most of my furniture projects, but I’m particularly proud of how this one came out. Solid white oak with genuine mortise-and-tenon joinery.
How did you finish the wood? That soft sheen looks good.
That’s Minwax’s Helmsman semi-gloss spar urethane, thinned 60/40 with paint thinner and wiped on with rags cut from an old T-shirt, 4 coats, 8 hours in between, buffing each coat with a little chunk of paper grocery bag in lieu of high grit sandpaper. Learned how from this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@paulsDIYsolutions
Nice! Love the use of oak. Should last for generations.
We’ll see how well my joinery holds up. This is actually the first project I’ve successfully built with f’real tenons.
Oak is rapidly becoming a favorite material of mine.
That looks flawless. Good work 👍
Thanks!
It’s a beautiful table but I’m not sure it’s big enough to hold your porch.
Wait checks blueprints shit you’re right I read this in inches and it’s laid out in feet. I’ll find something to use it for though.
