Table build progress: adding the apron and beefing up the structure
Today I’m installing the white oak skirt around the bottom of the top. This not only gives the table a clean, finished look from the sides but also adds serious strength and rigidity so the massive 7 ft top stays flat and stable for years to come.
All the joinery is cut and fitted — everything is going together nice and tight. You can see the screw pockets and the solid frame taking shape underneath.
From raw slabs to a real piece of furniture — this thing is getting heavy and strong.
