The wife asked me to make a ''nesting''table for a table she already has. Basically she wanted a duplicate made that would fit under /between the original.
Knowing I only needed a few board I elected to forgo the mill and just freehand a few pieces. This wood had been down for about three years and was destined for the firewood pile, but it happened to fit the dimensions I needed.
Diced it up yesterday/ planed all the pieces and put the top together with biscuits. I new there was going to be some cracking so I threw a heat lamp on it to get it over with quickly. Last night I checked and there was one crack in the top, so I filled with glue and put a butterfly key in for good measure and clamped the hell out of it.
Today was just assembling it together/final sand and viola.
