This is a 60" dia. outdoor table. I'm using a material called Garapa which is from Brazil (also refered to as Brazalian Ash) , the material is recomended for outdoor use much like teak and Ipe. It's hard, dense but machines and glues well. The top is on the left, and on the right is cutting the leg mortises.
Legs are glued uo on the left. The top is going to incorporate 4 "drop leaf's" so I needed to cut the 60" diameter into a square then take the cuttings and cut them into an arc completing the circle. So on the right is a template being made for the arc's
At left is the straight edge for cutting the circle into a square, and at right is the first cut. Yes thats a very old B&D saw. Dont use one very often so I had to summon that one up from the archives.

Not sure why these are here, just more of the cutting process, not very good with a skil saw so maybe just documenting the fact I didn't ruin the top. Who knows. And here we are waiting for the drop leaf hinges and cutting the arc's.
