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.

Two Inch Art Tiles

Someday I'll get back to woodworking and to remind myself of that, I forced myself to take some time this weekend to clean up and re-organize the workshop a bit.

Among the unfinished projects I dusted cobwebs from I found a small jewllery box that is finished except for a 6" x 2" relief in the face I'd been planning to fill with some nice 2" art tiles.

I havent gotten around to finding the right ones as yet, but found these today.

Trestle Table

Been planning to make a trestle table for my dining room. Rockler seems to have some slides specifically designed to allow extention leaves to be used at the ends of a trestle table.
