Hello there, and thank you for stopping by! This is the first build video I've made, so here goes nothing.

I started eleven fourteen-foot planks of reclaimed old growth redwood I picked up in Petaluma, California. The reclaimed lumber dealer got this wood from an old water tower at the Bodega Bay Marine Biology Institute, and it was sixty-something years old.

Going off of my digital sketch, I cut the planks to rough length on my miter saw. I then milled the lumber on my Grizzly G0813 6" jointer, and lightly planed the tops with the DeWalt DW735 planer. I made light passes in the planer to keep the character of the old wood as opposed to trying to expose all "new" redwood beneath the surface. Once I squared them up on the table saw, it was time for the joinery.

I joined all of the planks using biscuits and glue, doing half of the table at a time to compensate for the quickly setting glue (and reduced stress). I routed the edges to form tongues for the breadboard ends on both the dining table and island top. For the breadboard end grooves themselves, I made multiple passes over the table saw to sneak up on the fit. I pegged them in, gluing only the center portion of the breadboards.

For finish, I brushed on multiple coats of Minwax oil-based polyurethane, sanding lightly between each coat.

I made the table base frame, but used some old legs from my client's previous table.
