    Thanks William, we are on the same page for how to do the glue-up. Some really careful jointing would be in order. I was thinking that since my stock is flatsawn, if I cut my strips and orient in...

    I will do some preliminary builds with the solid wood approach and see what it is like. My poor little bandsaw would not be up to the task of resawing near 10"
    Thank you again for your help

    Well that sounds like a horse of a different color Jamie! If I have understood your suggestion right, (and please let me know if I don't) the idea is to make a solid top, not veneered, or are you...

    Not sure I understand your question about corners Mel, attached is a sketch up of the top. Edge features not included..

    Hi Jamie, thank you, and yes, the whole table and two leaves. It will be a bit of a job but I do not want to hear down the road that it self destructed... :eek:

    Old thread, but citric acid can be used as a pickle too.
  7. Chevron Table Top, alternate to veneering?

    Hi All, I am contemplating how to build a dining table top that has a chevron pattern of hard maple, in 3" strips. Conventional wisdom is to veneer the pattern with a veneer balance on the other...
  8. Chris and Mark- thank you both for your comments....

    Chris and Mark- thank you both for your comments. The stubby tenons were the result of sloth on my part, using a router bit with a bearing that left me 3/8 inch. I am not well set up to make a...

    Thank you Howie, I think the lesson is clear for me! ;) I made a table recently and I ran the tenoned apron pieces into mortises in the legs. Same situation- the tenons will expand and contract...
  10. Jerry,thanks for the comments and suggestion. I...

    Jerry,thanks for the comments and suggestion. I never would have thought of a slotted hole for the tenon pins!
  11. Hi Yonak, it would be tough to show in a photo....

    Hi Yonak, it would be tough to show in a photo. It is a hairline crack that looks like it starts right where the brass pin went into the tenon and then it propagates into the maple center board. The...
  12. capping endgrain or how not to split a tenon?

    Hi All, the attached photo is my version of a wood tray I saw on Scott Meek's webpage. When I made it, I tenoned the maple boards into mortises cut into the wormy pecan endboards. As a decorative...

    Hi Fred, the blades were not really forged..more like formed over jigs, just a little bit of hammering to tune their shape and then lots of time grinding and sharpening

    I took a coopering class this past May at Tiller's International in Michigan and made a piggin. It was a great class with excellent instruction. We started with quartered red cedar logs and split...

    Sam thanks for your comments and encouragement :) I do plan to try and tie the top/bottom ends together with crosspieces and that will surely move me closer to a stronger structure. I will enjoy...

    Hi Jamie, that is very cool! Looks like the workflow would be cut the bricks, glue, bandsaw, then clean up. The thing that seems especially nice is the strength and that I can vary the thickness...

    Art that sounds good- those biscuits really are wimpy. This project is a dry run..so I can play with different strategies before moving from cypress to pecan. BTW there is some nice local wood here...

    Thanks Glen- I can try that if I get access to a bandsaw. :) I was hoping there was some sort of joint I could cut for doing this in sections of sold wood, but when I look at this it seems there...
  19. I know the wrong way now, what is the right way?

    Hi All,

    I got an idea to build a small computer table using a double arch as the main structural element (see attached photo). So I assembled the arches with miter joints and #20 biscuits in...
