My Table Tops Are Done....pics
Cut 'em up two Saturdays ago, and voila ! 2 Table tops. 7 coats of Minwax poly, with sanding in between.... They'll be absolutely perfect for the man cave... My wife wants one... NOT !

Looks great Jeff.
Something I was thinking about that maybe Dab would know better is the strength where the 2 boards were glued together. I know that the glue joint is supposed to be very strong but maybe it would be a good idea to screw a couple pieces of wood or steel bar across the joint(the short way) for reinforcement in case you put something heavy on it or decide to stand on it. |

Sexy legs, or base cabinets on each end for reloading stuffs... That is the question. I think the thinner one will get sexy legs though..... The thick one will be a reloading table with a press on it, and end base cabinets. |

Work benches or not, they look nice. You should make up some coasters so you don't get watermarks from the adult beverages

The clearer one is 4'6" long x 29" x 2" thick....
The other is 4'4" long x 27¾" x 1 3/8" thick... We had to shave the smaller one down due to nail holes and imperfections, and thats what I ended up with. For two 14' boards that survived from the 1930's, I think it's pretty cool.. It was around 80 years ago, when they were originally milled. |
