Tavern Table - 3/19/2007 1:05:44 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2009 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    What do you think of the Replica Tavern Table I built for my sister 8 years ago? I'm very proud of the work I did on this one. Mortise and tenon joinery and glue blocked with "bread board ends. It's made of Tiger Maple. It's the last piece of furniture I built. I happened to be out her house today with my camera and couldn't resist sharing it with you all. Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

Did you use wooden pegs or are those plugs over screws. Those wooden pegs make the originals a bit wobbly if you don't stay on top of it.

RE: Tavern Table - 3/19/2007 8:40:43 AM    epgorge Posts: 2398 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Finish - 2/3 linseed oil mixed with 1/3 turpintine (for grain penetration). It works well for wooden floors as well. must be done every few years. Here is a original 1867 piece built by a local carpenter in my town. The wood is from the local saw mill of that era. This piece is built with dovetail drawyers but was made out of pine. Check out the alligator finish and the ornate drawer pulls. Ep _____________________________ (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 7

RE: Tavern Table - 3/29/2007 11:55:45 AM    bottlemania   Posts: 54 Joined: 3/5/2007 Status: offline Zane, Your table is awesome.  I think that beautiful woodgrains are lost on a lot of folks.  I know that when I see really old, really tight grained wood (like tiger oak, or old Walnut) I immediately think of how old the tree was that the wood came from.  In this age of pine, cardboard and stapled furniture (I won't even go into pressboard), to have a solid wood table that is beautiful and functional is a real pleasure.  Paul (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 16

RE: Tavern Table - 3/29/2007 1:54:28 PM    L C   Posts: 1484 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Hey Joel, I have one of those dressers with the glove boxes on the top that belonged to my Wife's Mother. Any chance of you picking it up and restoring it for me! I used to refinish a piece of furniture now and then, but over the years, I have got to the point where I do not want to do it.     Got into making cabinetry and other things of interest in my shop. Here is a picture of a wood knife I made the last time I got bored and wanted to make something. Three feet seven and a half inches long in the closed position. Inlaid walnut bolsters and logo, working wood springs. Attempting to put together a large wooden straight razor at the present. Attachment (1) (in reply to bottlemania) Post #: 17
