    An asian table

    Kinda stole the "floating" design, and adapted it. Used some nice walnut. Book match top, Dovetails by Wood Rat, wish I could do that well by hand!!!
    danish oil, and several coats of spray on Poly on the top, then waxed. Might donate it to Habitat for Humanity for their auction.

    That's gorgeous! Beautiful grain in the top, and nicely executed. Did you use birch for the drawer sides?

    Beautiful piece. I love the design elements; floating top, leg arches and so forth. Beautiful material as well.

    I like both the top and the stringing on the drawer front. And the drawer sides... Would make a very generous auction donation; good on you if you go that route.

    I’m stunned, great work. It’s beautiful. A real eye catcher . The top and the details are amazing.
