Solid Wood Harvest Table

I’ve had this unfinished table in a corner of my garage for quite some time.  I’ve been dying to get at it just to be able to finish something without having to scrape or sand it first. A clean slate so to speak.
She’s got great legs.

This is the table top propped up on my work bench. A four seater without any leafs.

The amazing feature of this table is, it doubles in size when the 3 leafs are attached.

It is operated by crank so that you can single handedly open it up.

I am finishing this table to match the Early 20th Century Hutch I previously finished.  The color used here was again Heirloom White.

My personal custom mix of glaze has taken me very far indeed.  I’ll be sorry when this mixture is all gone.

Using the same stain as the Hutch I gave the table top a coat after a good sanding and cleaning.

All three leafs stained.  You can see how large this table becomes.

The top was varathaned with two coats.  Make sure to sand well between coats of varathane allowing each coat to completely dry 2 days. Table tops get daily, harsh use and should be protected well against watermarks and deep scratches with a very tough finish.

As much as it disappoints me, I couldn’t get this in the house to take proper pictures.  It was just too big.  It stopped raining for about 3-1/2 minutes in 2 weeks to allow me to take these pictures outdoors.

I believe this table will certainly compliment the hutch that goes along with it.
Many thanks to the awesome people who eagerly picked up both these items.
thank you 3 smaller

    Nicely done. I could envision castors on the legs to go with the awesome crank...

    Great table, Lisa! Love those legs! I'm sure that crank must make things easier. I know there are many holidays when I have to expand our table that I wish I had something to help me open it up!

    Nice refinishing job! I've never seen a crank on a table, how beautiful is that addition! Can't wait to see pics of the table next to the hutch. It will be a match made in heaven ;-)

    That is the most gorgeous table! I'm sure it took a ton of work to finish it like that. I'm in awe - I get lazy simply spray-painting things!

    The table turned out beautifully. It is very similar to a table that I found last weekend for $40 at a tag sale--9 feet long with all three leaves! I have been busily painting many coats of Behr Nude (my favorite!) on it. I'm going to follow with 3 coats of polycrylic. I plan to use it in our office as a giant partner desk for my husband and I. Thanks for the great pics!

    Ok I am in love with this table! I seriously need to know how to get my hands on one! We are building a new house and have nothing to put in it. Our home was DESTROYED in the April 27th tornados that hit Alabama. So I am operating on a clean slate! I need this table! (or one similar!)

    Hi!
    I have a few questions, if you wouldnt mind answering...

    1~ What brand is the heirloom white paint that you use?

    2~What brand/color of glaze do you use and do you just wipe off the glaze with a cloth on the legs of the table to get that look?

    I have a table I would like to make look just like the one you did, and I would love to know how you did it... Thanks!
