Criss-Cross Dining Table & Bench
This course will be a little different than the typical Guild fare. Instead simply building a particular project, we'll delve into a new design, making changes on the fly and in order to make a usable prototype. The focus of the course will be less about the woodworking (though we'll cover that in detail), and more about the design process and whether or not the end product meets my goals for a functional about beautiful dining table. The bench is built separately using a few different techniques for the sake of variety. Even if you don't particularly like the design, there's a lot of meat on this bone with regard to design and various woodworking tips and tricks.
The table measures 30 3/4" H x 42" W x 84"L
The bench measures 18" H x 14" W x 60" L
