    Dark, rich, quarter sawn oak is hard to top! This table is elegant in its simplicity. Thank you for restoring it for another century or two of life!

    I don't know what it was that caused you to move back to Saskatoon. But I sensed that it wasn't something planned. After watching your videos for the last two years. I almost feel like a friend. Just know that we, your audience, love you and hope everything works out for the best. Keep up the excellent work!

    What a beautiful beast of a table!
    Eaton's 1913-14 Fall-Winter catalog has tables like this listed with 9-piece dining room suites for up to $76.50, available in golden oak or fumed oak finish.

    @pjchris90 Před 5 měsíci +26

    Lovely work as usual. I was surprised there were no leaves with it, as it must be pretty big when fully open. You need to live in a house with big rooms to swallow up a table that big when not in use and open. Happy New Year to your family!

    Had a similar table and mechanism. Found in yard sale. Was told it was a ballroom table. Tabletop would tilt lock in upright position, be pushed back to wall to make room for dancing. The pedestal top was a finished small square where drinks could be sat...

    Trena, this table is absolutely gorgeous! In all my seventy seven years of life, I have never seen a tilt round as this. Absolutely Gorgeous! Your work is so impeccable it is hard to even capture that there was ever anything wrong with any of the workings..........not just on this piece but all I have watched you do these several years. The lucky owner must have an interesting story about this piece. I can imagine the pride your father feels having taught you all these procedures during the years and of course many you have taken on and done alone as your craft talents have continued on. How blessed to have had these teachings and from your own father........what a life gift for both of you.....truly! You are both such amazing crafters!
    Blessings to you both and a beautiful Happy New Year! ♥

    Oh Trena, you never disappoint. Your meticulous commitment to true restoration is rare; no cutting corners. This serves not only as a table, but a piece of art when the top is up. As intended. It will function and be treasured again by future generations. How many more Christmas holiday dinners will it see?
    You and your dad are quite a team. You must be so proud.
