Work continues on reclaimed table

I haven’t made too much custom furniture in the past. A few small tables, benches and an entertainment center for my house. This is the first dining table I’m making and I have to say I was a little intimidated at first just by the size of the table that I was making (9×4′). Many of the old reclaimed masonry boards had a cup or some warping to them. Luckily with some help I was able to take out much of the problem areas to get a nice and flat surface on the top and sides of the boards.

Yesterday I finished glueing the entire top (I already had 2/3″ of it done). Next is cutting it to length and adding boards perpendicularly on the ends. Sanding, staining and finishing the top and painting and assembling the bottom is last to finish.
