Trestle Table







Since shortly before xmas I've been working on a Stickley inspired trestle table. It's coming along nicely and I managed to take a few photos along the way.

Gladys has been patient with my obsession over it and Miguel has been a big help and is now Chief shop-vac operator.

A few details about the table:
Quarter Sawn White Oak
Quadralinear posts
Floating key Wedged cross brace
Wedged tenons on trestle posts
Breadboard ends

[If anyone shows interest, I'll update this post sometime with notes and links to some things that helped me along the way.]

Going to need some finishing advice soon.
