Instead of creating I did some repair work on an old walnut table.

I did numerous repairs to split aprons and used epoxy to reglue all of
the apron tenons back onto the legs. And I added some additional modern
day pocket holes and screws. I think I removed a dozen finish nails
that were in strange places.

Looks like a nice old table. Interesting details and hardware. Good job.

What the heck are those pock marks, on the underside? Those have me baffled. I suppose, no telling why they're there.

I meant to post that picture, thanks for bringing that up. Those are
numerous and close together on both fold down leaves. They were also on
the main table sections but not as evident.

Something I also noticed is that the edge detail around the perimeter of
the table was not consistent. I wonder if the tool used to create the
perimeter edge treatment only cut small lengths at a time and had to be
more closely placed on the rounded sections.




Your project reminds me of a somewhat similar aged rectangle walnut table I have been wanting to repair and refinish. I recently removed it from the (now) Observatory (previously the hand tool room behind the garage). A neighbor was to toss it to the road. She had used it as a gardening/planting table. No fold-down end leaves and the inside leaves are missing.

Sure looks like "clamp tracks"
