Two years ago, when we moved in, we dined at the kid's table for about 3 months. I have a lot of pictures of us around this table because I thought it was just so funny. Our renter, possibly feeling sorry for us, or maybe hoping we'd stop making excuses about how we couldn't entertain, loaned us her cute little oval table.
Oval was awesome--so many good times around this table. But not so great in our small space. Too many chairs sticking out, tough to get around. So, Scott started designing and testing out templates.
Then the building began. He picked an oak beam from the Ohio barn, had it milled, glued it together and hand-planed it for what seemed like 40 hours. Oh, and I should mention he fabricated his own hand-plane to do the work. Goodness, the man has patience.
Voila! Pure beauty, it fits the five of us comfortably and pulls out to add up to three more. Thanks to Scott's patience and craft, we will have lots of memories made at this table.
