Reclaimed Cypress table
FlobeySolo
Posts: 12
Finally got around to posting pics of my table I finished earlier in the year. Seeing the pics of other tables was invaluable, and I was able to come up with a design to make my own.
I utilized reclaimed LA cypress that is close to 100 years old, a chunk of Black Amazon granite from our kitchen island cook top cutout, and a portion of a stainless table. My in-laws were kind enough to purchase the Egg for us as a Christmas gift, and the cypress and stainless came from my father. It was a really fun project (short of the splinters and about a thousand old rusty nails I had to pull, and a few sets of planer knives ruined on those I missed) that enabled me to bring materials together from both my wife's and my family.
Joinery is mortise and tenon, with pocket hole screws and lots of Titebond III, with no visible fasteners. All stainless casters and hooks from McMaster-Carr. Worm holes filled with boat making epoxy, and finished with 5-6 coats of hand rubbed spar urethane.
Enough talk - everyone likes pics so here you go. Hopefully someone can gain an idea or two from mine like those so many I pilfered from others. Cheers.

nice looking table!

Beautiful job! I know that took a lot of work because I made a couple tables out of reclaimed cypress. I love that stuff. I actually have two planers - one for rough planing where I don't care as much if I get a chip on the blade, and one for finish planing.
These are indispensable if you're building with reclaimed wood:

Wo, that is killer! My favorite aspect by far (even though the marble is outstanding) are the "floating bins" to keep the space below them free when using a blower or sweeping to clean the deck -- super smart. Love the table.

How did you attached the rails for the bins? I can see on the right side you can anchor them to the leg posts, but what about the right side?

Nice table indeed. I am getting very very close to wrapping up my reclaimed cypress (pecky sinker) table. Applied the last of 5 coats of spar varnish on it last night. I will post pics when I can.

The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

Hey gang - thanks for the comments. Sorry I have not been back in a while..@tmas - I simply make L-shaped slides from scrap cypress and attached them to the bottom of the rails with pocket screws. They work really well.

Really nice work
