New Custom Egg Table - Pic Heavy

My old man and I modified the BGE table specs slightly. We extended the table top by an inch and a half. We found we had plenty of spare room under the BGE cover to extend it as such. We also recessed the paving stone in the second shelf so it is flush with the shelf itself. All edges routed and sanded. The table top has a total of 18 biscuit joints and the casters are three inches each. One coat of stain, two of urethane and there we have it! If anyone wants to plans we used, I can probably email you a PDF.
Here goes my first attempt at uploading pics, so hopefully it works.

Thats a work of art! I need to make a table myself. If you don't mind, I could use a set of plans for a table. Thanks"The pig is an amazing animal. You feed a pig an apple and it makes bacon. Let's see Michael Phelps do that" - Jim Gaffigan

SWEET! - but you still should use the 3 green feet even with a stone!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Awesome table!!

That is a top notch job. Great Work! :laugh:

You are right! Since I've taken that picture, I've been advised to your statement. I've made the adjustment. I wouldn't have guessed so, but people say the heat cracks the paving stones! Couldn't believe it, but I've changed it. Thanks for the heads up...

Beautiful table. What type of wood did you use?
-
It's made of cypress. It's a bit more expensive (not nearly as much as oak, but more than pine). It also holds up better with it being outside. Cypress is notorious for being durable in the elements. I believe most tables from BGE itself are made of cypress.

Nicely done.....is that a dark wood or just dark stain?
-
BK, a work of art, it looks beautiful.
I'm new to the forum, but have been reading them for months and this morning got on line with the intent of looking for information on BGE tables, and here was your post. Talk about timing.
What size is your Egg?
I would love a set of plans, I'll send you an email with my email address. Thank you -
Dark Stain. It's Minwax and the shade is "Gunstock." I urethaned with a clear semi-gloss. The table (made of cypress) originally looked like this:

Surely, I've already gotten a couple emails looking for a PDF of the plans. I can send it out to you as soon as I get it! I'm honored to have you consider using our plans. I'll get it to you!

WOW!! Absolutely beautiful table...and the recessed tile is super slick! Congrats on a job well done.
-
That's one fine looking table! Obviously well thought out. Results are terrific!
-
Wow, it's a beauty!
-
beautiful job BK
-
Great looking table. It looks like you have a lot of time invested and some great talent.
-
Thank you for your kind words! Any talent I have, I've learned from my Dad and he is one with the wisdom!
-
BK, where did you get you cypress? Having a hard time finding pre cut cypress in North Atlanta. Most places have random widths and you have to plane the pieces beautiful table!

What a wonderful table. Beautiful woodworking and finishing. Clink of the snifter glass to many wonderful cookoutsLarge, small and mini now Egging in Rowlett Tx

Good question...
We searched and searched also. We ended up at Suwanee Lumber. I see you live in Sugar Hill. Suwanee Lumber is right off 23 (I think). You are correct in that they provide you with random widths. They will however always give you one good edge (one completely straight edge, while the edge opposite would be a bit rough). We had access to a table saw, which allowed us to rip them into the width we desired (3-1/2") using the "one good edge." When you place your order with them, they are going to want to know how many "board feet" you need. I had to do some research on how many I needed and they were very reasonable on their prices.
Does that help? -
Thanks! Hook em!

sweet ride

Hi BK,
Great Work - You certainly have a knack for detail! -
Beautiful! That table looks like something that would cost $1K in a store.
I just bought tons of cedar to build my table. Question... how did you get the top to look so straight and smooth? Did you run it through a joiner or a planer (which I don't have)? Or was it just really precise drilling?
Some of my cedar boards are just slightly off of being straight, and I'm concerned that my top will be uneven with gaps. -
that's too nice!.... especially to leave out side.... excellent job! rr
-
Great looking table.
As RRP said and here's the reason you need the three green feet under your egg.
