After months of planning, crafting, salvaging, and hard work we have finally completed our new dining table! We had a local welder build-up our steel frame from 1 1/2" tube. I contacted some friends in the flooring business, Stromberg Moore, who kindly gave us left over alder flooring planks in different widths. Zach, Nick, and I cut, screwed, and glued the pieces together to make a solid surface for the dining top. Then another friend at Fresh Air Finishes, Tom Walcher, generously sealed the top with a water based finish that is stronger then any standard oil finish and arguably more beautiful (not to mention good for the environment). We have two extensions that can be added on either end so we can seat 10 if needed.
Wallah! We couldn't be happier :)
Thanks to everyone for all your help and making our table vision a reality!
On to the next project...
