i bought a piece of paralam - which is an engineered wood product made from scraps - to make an outdoor table out of for my new place. i'm hoping to use my new deck a lot and eat outside - i know, me eating outside - and have folks over and have a nice table to sit at. so..on friday i chopped it into the length that i wanted and let it sit until today when i had time to devote to it and not be scrambling to get it done.
today i used a biscuit joiner - courtesy of my good pals at propellor - and took two of the pieces and put a few biscuits in and glued them together. (the piece of paralam was originally 15'5" long x 3 1/2" thick x 18" wide and i am making it into a table 36" wide x 3 1/2" x 6' long) i think it'll be great once it has it's sanded and finished and i have attached the legs i'm making/having made which will be out of aluminum square tube.
here are a few pics of the table in its first stages.
have a great sunday.
