a walnut pedestal table

weve got a couple of walnut pedestal tables in the works in the shop right now .. well, actuallhy, this one is finished and i hope to deliver it tomorrow or friday. its going to a house right down the street from us, right here in town. its 56" in diameter closed and has three 45" leaves for a total of 56 x 101.

the base design i attribute to my client who had a pretty clear vision that she was able to convey to us as we worked through the drawings and two scale models. ive got some pictures of them somewhere ..

the cad drawing was pretty straightforward once we got the concept worked out ..

as usual, we procured some of irion lumbers finest. a log of matched 15-16" boards and a fine piece of 4" walnut from a different log, but matched very well .. thanks myron.

heres and upside down view with the base parts clamped up in preparation for gluing .. moin equalizing pedestal runners ...

ready for final sanding and finish ...

checking the runner alignment ..

with all three leaves it is surprisingly solid, even with the single pedestal ..
good to go ...

This table is amazing. I love everything about it. It is the exact dimensions that I'm looking for- it's difficult to find a round table that opens to seat 10-12! ( I assume you meant that the leaves are 15" not 45")
