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.

Zane,

Great craftsmanship. It is almost too pretty for that era.

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.

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.
