Hickory & Walnut Trestle-Style Dining Table

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I finished my dining room table that has been in the works for several years now!
My goal was to complete the table in time to celebrate Christmas with my family gather around it, and that goal was met. We hauled in the table on Christmas day and some of us (I have a larger family) were able to gather around it. I'm pleased with the results overall, even though there are a few minor flaws. My family likes it a lot, and that is worth more than my opinion!Some of the details of the table:-Hickory construction with Walnut slats and pegs for accent
-German metal equalizer table slides (Pottker brand)
-Table is 6' without leaves, and 8' with the two leaves added in
-From the first drafting of plans to completion was 3+ years
-Finish schedule is 1 coat of danish oil, followed by 3 coats of wiped on Arm R Seal poly (4 coats on the top surface)
-6 dining room chairs will need to be built next! See the design they will follow in this project: https://www.lumberjocks.com/projects/254274For more details of my table build, I did a blog series:
