Well here is some pics of what I have been up to. I have made 3 table tops in 3 different days. The 2 small ones are for a End Table I am making and the large one is for the Top of an Entertainment Center. The wood is all free. Mostly White Oak, RedOak and Ash from what I can tell. These are also to go with the Coffee Table that is already built on the left. I am going to fill the holes, resand and use a Ebony Stain wash then go with a full strength Ebony stain and Clear Watco Danish Oil. I talked the couple into staining instead of Painting.

I just wanted to share because these are the only 4 table top glue ups I have ever done and to let anyone else that has ever thought about using a Reversible glue joint bit to do so they work great. The one that is clamped up is 42"X27" and I decided to try something different, also it let me cut out alot of bad spots in the Pallet wood.


I told the couple that I am building these for that after I get these built and the wood will bow and twist after they get it home. It was only meat as a joke. Gee I hope not. LOL

Very nice table. i always liked the look of old nail holes. it adds a lot of character. the grain of the wood is also beautiful. great job. it is nice to see recycling too.

LOL yep they would Mark, but the only problem is that you do not live in my area and I walked into the shop this morning and one of the small tops had bowed up on me. So now I am trying to get it to straighten back out. I think I know what caused it to but but not 100% sure. I think it had to do with what I had it setting on and we had a drastic weather change yesterday.
