Finally Done

The table that I have been working at restoring is finally complete. I started working on it last summer, but haven't had much opportunity to work on it. It came from my in-law's, who bought it used when they first were married back in'67. They guess-timate it is about 80 years old. It's solid oak, with a suspended leaf underneath to lengthen the surface. As is, the top is about 4' x 8'. The whole table it weighs a ton (at least 150lbs). The table had been stored in a shed in recent years, and had succumb to severe water damage on the legs. I had to break the legs apart into three pieces, re-glue them, and re-glue every joint in the leg assembly. I stripped the old finish off, sanded the entire table, filled in the gaps and damage with filler, re-sand, stain, varathane, etc. The pix below show the under-side, and a close-up of some of the leg damage part-way through the repair process.
