Solid Oak Table

This was my very first solo project for profit. My neighbor had seen me working on the Alder table and Mahogany wall unit and asked if I would make him a few pieces of furniture for his home office.  This oak table proved to be unique in that it’s made entirely from solid oak…not a single piece of plywood anywhere.  It was also the first time I was able to try out my new spray equipment and use a stain/lacquer combination finish.

Side view of table - both shelves and top were made up of edge-joined pieces of oak
Corner view - the legs were also made from laminated pieces of solid oak

The shelves were mounted by sliding the corners into grooves in the legs and anchoring them with a single pocket-hole screw...it worked way better than I ever intended!
