Barnwood Update

It's been a few weeks since I started on this project. I have actually been making some progress, slow and steady wins the race. For those who don't already know I decided to make a nice hall table using a piece of barnwood for the top. I won't go into all the details regarding the top. Here's the basic rundown for the piece. It's about 50" wide, 14" deep and 30" tall. The base is made of solid hard maple. Has tapered legs. Houses 3 drawers and is painted flat black. After cutting and machining all the parts I did some pre-assembly finishing and today (with the help of 3 of my kids) I was able to assemble the base. I still need to build the drawers and construct the drawer runners. There is alittle work left to do on the top but not much. A little more flat black finish, some more assembly, and she'll be good to go. Hopefully have it all wrapped up and ready for unveiling by the end of April. Stay tuned...
