    A Little Table

    Just a little table I did quickly for Christmas - for my daughter. Comments welcome. The apron is old cherry, the rest is recently milled. Quite a contrast. Should probably have been more picky, but I just used what I had on hand.

    Very nice, Hans. I really like the splayed legs, and in a couple of years, all the cherry will blend anyway. Great job!

    Nice table, simple and clean. Like John said it will all blend the same in time. Nice job!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    beautiful work, and if you want to speed the process, leave it out in the sunlight for a couple hours (rotating for even exposure) - it won't totally age it, but it will speed the process.

    Very nice.. clean and consequently eloquently quiet Hans. I don't think the current contrast is unpleasant at all and it will bond down the road. What is sun-light? I think you guys north of the border might benefit with a sun-lamp you can pick up at the hardware store to artificially in-seminate the cherry. ha..ha...

    Your daughter is going to be very happy with the table Hans.
    Great job.
    As others have said, time will take care of the color.

    that looks great. I like the contrast between the apron and legs.
