Very nice!! What did you use for tenons/joinery in the corners? Any particular finishing techniques you used?

I used the DD40 for the miter and Cat Lacquer with HVLP for the finnish.
I will post some build photos but I can't get the forum to stop rotating the images when they get uploaded.

A little video showing the doweled joint for this table. The DD40 makes it very simple by registering the pins from edge to hole.

Sorry about the picture not being right side up but I've given up trying to fix this problem. If you click the picture it will show in the correct vertical format.   |

I seem to keep noticing random parts of everyones pictures that aren't related to their post…what is the mallet that is barely visible in the two pictures? I have this "thing" lately with mallets and have been making a few wood ones.
The table looks thicker in the glue up pictures. Is it 6/4? Cool table. I like the simple straightforward look of it. Is blue pine a hardwood? I have never heard of it.

The mallet is a Cabinetmakers mallet from Veritas. Cabinetmakers Mallet
The finished thickness is 1 1/4" Blue Pine is not a hardwood. It's like any other pine except the tree was killed by boring Beatles. In the process of killing the tree the Beatles create the contrasting blue grey color. So it's all natural. I didn't add any stains or dyes to get this contrast. |

Thats interesting. The crappy beetles improve the look of the pine. Strange that the middle portion stayed the regular pine color.

I picked that board for this table since it made for a nice waterfall effect. There is a lot of variation in this wood. Almost like Calico Hickory. Some are solid grey while others are just randomly grey and mostly clear. The nice thing is that its salvaged after the tree has died so its a reactionary product.
