trestle table in straight grain douglas fur

[Chris Hughes]

        This is a full scale prototype table for a breakfast nook to be built in alder.  I looked everywhere for a leg design that appealed to both me and the home owner.  No luck, so incorporated elements that I use as my signature like the slender taper, a radius, and things that look like floating.  This is what I came up with.  I want to come up with a more technical wedge to lock the stretcher to the legs.
        For this project I used my ts75 to cut the tapered portions of the legs, my domino was used to tenon the table top and to join the leg parts together, my 1010 cut both the leg and stretcher through mortises, my ro125 made everything smooth and shiny, and on clean up a ct22.    C Hughes

Looks like a great table, especially for a prototype!  Doug Fir is notorious for splintering.  How did it do with the TS75 - which blade did you use.
thanks for posting!

Jesse,
        I did not know that about Doug fir.  So no, I had no problems with splintering and I use the stock blade that came with the saw.  I rotate two blades so I always have a sharp one on hand.  The tool that really made this job work is the domino.  I've done mortise and tenon joinery a couple of time prior to this project and I was not looking forward to working it out on this project.  I almost feel a little dirty.  C Hughes
