In this video i make a plywood endgrain herringbone pattern table top.
Herringbone pattern wood table top.
I decided i wanted my wood pieces to be four times as long as they are wide to give a nice even pattern.
The rest of the table will be the subject of a future video.
With the exception of a few pieces of scrap 1 x 4 s this table top was built entirely out of cheap construction grade studs.
After flipping the table over we cut 1 1 2 strips of maple to trim out the edges of the table and routed the top and bottom corners with a 1 4 roundover bit.
So i simply measured the width of my paint stick and then multiplied it by four to determine the length.
I went to work on the plans and after talking with ashely we decided to go with a 4 4 x leg with lap joint.
This might look difficult but if you look at step 1 you ll see that cutting.
I m using pine which was selected by my customers.
In this video i used.
We tried to leave about a 1 16 lip all the way around for some.
Before starting my herringbone table top i did a bit of research into how to do a nice herringbone pattern.
When ashley from the blog cherished bliss wrote and asked me to help her with the plans for an outdoor table with x legs and a herringbone top i was totally honored but i knew i had my work cut out for me.
