Latest project I have been working on. My wife told me to put the ongoing shop upgrade on hold and do a couple of pieces for our home.
First one is this Stickley #599 Keyhole Trestle Table.I have tried to keep it to the original that L. & L.G. Stickley designed in 1912. All in all a simple build just a little harder working with 8/4 QSWO for pretty much the whole project....
Template first for the legs.

Being that the mortises were in 1 3/4" white oak I decided to lay them up in the glue up. This would save a ton of time.
231369 231368
Legs all done. Cutting the circles were done with a Festool jigsaw.
I've got to hand it to the Festool guys, with the right blade match there was very little deflection.
Everything was then cleaned up with a router and the template.

With the stretchers done and tenons on all of the ends, I made angled mortices to accept the tusks.

231365
One big beast… After my wife and I flipped the the top over I’m thinking the top is over 200 lbs. Doing the tops glue up in sections and using lots of dominos the joints were sweet and the top very flat.

And one pic with the above photo rotated.

Legs are just over 1 ¾” thick. Top is 86”X42” and a bit over 1 5/8” thick.
Quite the fun project and it got the thumbs up from my wife. She has picked her chairs to go with the table. Stickley Spindle arm and side chairs. I’m thinking I will get a free ticket for shop time when we start those….
Hope everyone is getting a little shop time!
