those are Pine from your friendly wood store... "W" where you buy your wood too...

[timber715]

I still am wide awake, hmmm, lets start the finishing... will need about 4 to five coats anyway....
using hardwood oil, my first coat is applied...

wow nice build timb!

your tenons are a bit proud...hmmm...greene and greene design ha!

lucky you youve got that large slab of pine with beautiful grains.

what wood oil did you use btw?

its also nice to buy at "W" coz most of their stocks were preselected.

cheers!

[violaine]

the legs are goncalo but how about the stretchers?

[timber715]

tanguile... for the stretchers... but very dense as well. I used my favorite hardwood oil "Sandolin" thanks Doc, you can call me Sonny here...

[moji]

That's a nice table. The goncalo really stands out. How do you plan on attaching the table top and shelves?

[timber715]

big hole at the bottom part of the stretchers

small exit hole...

still undecided how to address wood movement though....

[timber715]

into the last leg of the build...
I smoothen the edges sanded the sealer and applied two coats of Tung oil...

Beautiful Timber.

I see you're a serious audiophile. You and 2diy4 are similar in this. He even builds his own tube amplifiers. Me ... been there done that 30 years ago.

[timber715]

that isn't mine, it was a commissioned piece. though I like his gears, they sound fantastic...

oops ... still a nice build.

[violaine]

yeah..an audiophile...look at the tube amp..looks like its a NAD...

i still remember the days in the 80's about these brands..nakamichi being the best tape deck maker in the world! (azimuth...ring a bell?), GX heads of akai tape recorder, mission and infinity speakers...rotel amps..mordaunt short...polk audio rm35....the beginning of small speakers with a big sound..

i havent thrown all my vinyl records...the twelve inchers...

the owner of that table surely is proud of timber's work.

cheers!

more commissioned works! hehe

I would actually like to get some vinyls someday, but I can't afford them at the moment. the sound quality it produces truly a pleasure to listen to. I'm actually looking for a tube pre-amp and not looking at the same time. budget so minimal with the acquisition of the 2012nb, but not to worry since I am very happy with it.
