Greetings,
This is a recently completed commission. (at some point I will work on the backdrop
)
The client was redoing their kitchen countertops with granite and wanted to have their kitchen table match. The top is to be 3' x 6'.
Finish is black gesso and sprayed lacquer.
Just to make things interesting the client did not want a bottom stretcher, this is usually used for strength and to keep the table from racking or shaking.
The solution was to use a double half lap joint with shoulders and to create leg blanks with a lock mitre joint.
Once the joints are assembled the table is absolutely rigid...
Cheers, Don
