Introduction: Walnut Coffee Table

Here is my hunk(s) of wood. 8/4 walnut from a local shop. Trued up the sides and planed to thickness.

Step 1: Floating Tenon Jig

I whipped one up and made some maple floating tenons from scrap.

Step 2: Glue Up

Added some dowels between the tenons and glued it up between a couple of bow clamps. Cross cut the ends on a sliding table saw.

Step 3: Filled Any Cracks.

Used a mixture of wood glue, sanding dust and water. Then added some cross braces on the bottom to help ensure it stays flat.

Step 4: That First Coat..

Vinyl sanding sealer then a few coats of precatalyzed lacuer. Applied with a continuous feed airmix kremlin spray gun.

Step 5: Added Some Hairpin Legs.

Thanks for looking y'all.
