This table was made from resawn and book matched, 8/4 Canarywood. It measures 34" x 48" in the closed position and expands to 80" with both leaves pulled out. The challenge was to obtain a flat surface as there is a lot of movement with this wood,I think that the beauty of the wood trumps that flaw. I used ebony pegs to pin the mortise and tenon apron as well as the bread board ends. The finish is Danish oil with multiple top coats hand rubbed on with wet/dry sandpaper. I use a three part mixture of boiled linseed oil, gum turpentine, and polyurethane.
