start/finish

Delivered the Stanley Table to Chapel Hill last week but not before Doc P. stopped by to check everything out. That was a great visit to the shop! Although I am sure he was frightened by the state of things in my work space....

It was a lot of fun making the drive east with Milo and great to see the Stanley family! All went well and Chrissy was happy. What more could I ask for!!! Here are some pictures.... a lot of pictures.

It all begins with a trip to the lumber yard...

The table top after waxing and polishing.

Final assembly at the shop.

View from the bottom. The bottom was treated and finished exactly like the top.

Another bottom view. The top is pinned in the middle and has fasteners floating in recessed slots on the sides that I made with the Domino to allow for cross grain movement.

The edges of the breadboards are joined with butterfly keys. This orientation will again allow cross grain movement of the table top.

Unwrapping after the drive.

In its new home. This is such a great house. It should be in Dwell.

Floating.

Long.

Happy family!

Now the benches!!!!!
