Dining Room Table from CNC Milled Logs - pt. 2/3
Switching over to the legs, I square up and clamp down 8x8 beams to the CNC routing table and start milling them down to 5". In Vcarve, I set up the toolpaths for notching out the mortises and profiling the outer shape of the leg. Since the router bit will only cut 2.5" deep, I need to utilize the double sided feature so I can flip the leg over and run the same toolpath, in order to cut all the way through the 5" leg. I also cut out the arch pieces, from a 3 laminated 2x12s. With all the pieces cut, I sand everything down and get to work gluing together the end sections. While they dry, I switch back to the tabletop which gets a cleanup surfacing pass and 2 part epoxy to to fill in all the cracks and holes. Once it has dried, I surface the epoxy off, leaving it just in the recesses.
