Conference Room Table for Elevate Insurance

One last project before we close out 2020 delivered. Our friends at Elevate Insurance were in need of a conference table to match the other pieces we created for them. Using 2X6 and 1X6 premium pine, we created this 8′ X 35″ V-legged Table.

We ripped 13 2X6 X8’s down to 5 inches, taking the rounded edges off the table, then ran them through the planer to clean up the main surfaces. Using our Handy Dandy KregJig, we then added a series of pocket holes. Putting Gorilla Wood Glue in between the boards, we then pocket screwed the boards together making sure we reversed the grains on each board to avoid warping. Then clamped them to keep them tight while the glue dried. We let them sit overnight in a nice 70 degrees.

Meanwhile, I assembled the V-Legs and lined them up on the support boards.

Once everything was dry we took a special touch and hand plained the excess glue off and did several passes with various grits of sandpaper for a nice smooth finish.

Merideth stained them with Minwax, Dark Walnut penerating wood stain, which really brought out the design of the grain. the table was sealed with our favorite poly, Polycrylic Protective Finish.
