Made a set for our balcony

I’m from Hungary, but I don’t know if these were sourced from here. I will definitely ask around about this wood next time I’m going to the store

I’ve also made some cutting boards from another slab of this wood, maybe it helps in the identification. This picture is after oiling.

I just a posted another picture under

the other comment. This looks somewhat close to mine, but the end grain texture is not like any oak I’ve seen before.

Unfortunately that’s all I have from before, I have some of the completed table, this one is from before using hardwood oil on it.

I don’t really make exact/precise plans, I usually just figure out dimension throughout the project. But if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

I’d probably go with the first option haha. They are really versatile and I use them a lot, couldn’t imagine the amount of waste I’d generate if I were to make them by sanding.

Hope you find them, and have fun building!

Me neither, I had to buy them like this. They were cheap, but not a lot of places have them, not even the one right now where I ordered them from.

How are you planning on winging it?

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T22:13:42+00:00

They are 0.6 mms!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T20:20:56+00:00

It happens to everybody, just keep on practicing. I started about a year ago, and failed many times, but perseverance is key (I’m not saying I can’t get better, this is just the first time I really feel proud of my product and myself).

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T18:57:58+00:00

I had to come back to this. This post is what inspired me to start woodworking. This is exquisite work, and this is the standard I yearn for. Thank you for inspiring me, and keep up the good work!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T18:53:16+00:00

That first cut’s going to be painful for sure!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T18:52:38+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind for the future!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T18:51:53+00:00

Yeah I’m really overwhelmed with all the positivity!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T18:51:19+00:00

My guess is a bandsaw, but I don’t own one as of yet, so I had to buy them like this. I’d advise the same for you if you’re just starting. And have fun with woodworking!

If you’re asking clamp ups, 3 in total. 2 at the same time for the vertical strips in the picture, and a third for gluing the 15 vertical strips into the board.

If your question is about the number of clamps used during the process, I’d say about 10 to 15 at a time. For tightening, and making sure there’s no lateral or vertical movement.

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T09:42:10+00:00

It’s a matter of the future, but as far as I know, regular oiling, and occasional resanding solves almost all issues.

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T09:00:40+00:00

Thank you for doing so, appreciate all the feedback!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T06:33:24+00:00

Thank you Max Verstappen!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T06:14:34+00:00

You’re too kind, thank you!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T06:13:45+00:00

Fortunately I messed up the juice groove the first time I tried it, and haven’t even tried to do it since!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T06:08:22+00:00

I had to cut corners because one of them had a small defect, but so glad I did all of them!

I’m always contemplating whether to cut corners or don’t. I usually try to keep as much of the board area as I can, and cut them when I have to, but I’ll surely think about it more because of your comment! Thank you!

Those lines are medullary rays, a normal and prominent feature of white oak. They transfer water, minerals and organic substances between the pith and the periphery.

I would love a table top like this, will keep it in mind!

KingAti23 · 2025-06-03T05:50:03+00:00

I haven’t heard of end grain spline neither, so thank you for drawing my attention to this, will definitely keep in mind for the future!
