Beautiful design!
My son would have that covered in Crayon in a blink of an eye.

WOW that is a heck of a present for anyone! I am sure he will have it for years to come.

Jim,
Not a problem some WD-40 would take those crayon marks right off!!!

Maybe when the grand kids get here I will have more time.
Great work Greg.

That's a gorgeous heirloom! Did you brand the underside or otherwise put a permanent maker's mark, so that its heritage is preserved for the next few centuries?

Time I have. Skill is where I'm lacking.
I keep coming back to this thread to look at the pics. The table and chairs are fantastic.

Hi Greg,
Did you laminate the maple before you milled the pieces? That is a great look.

Steve,
I was fortunate enough to receive a branding iron from SWMBO for my birthday a few months ago so all of these pieces now are branded for life!

Thanks for the kind words.

Greg, fantastic job. Puts me in the mind of my Grandad who cared about what he built for us, even though we were "just kids." -Steve
