Beautiful job, Lou!

Lou,

That is a beautiful table. I especially like the drawers and your dovetails are gorgeous. How did you cut them?

Thanks. I used my PC4212 to cut the dovetails.

Lou that is awesome. The whole thing, the wood selection, the inlaid work, the dovetails and the finish. Very nice job.

[Tony Ward]

Nice work, I can only echo the previous comments.

[Frank Snyder]

Very nice, Lou. Is the frame Mahogany? And what species did you use for the contrasting band inlay?

And where are the players?

[Lou Ferrarini]

Very nice, Lou. Is the frame Mahogany? And what species did you use for the contrasting band inlay?

And where are the players?

The frame is African Mahogany, Maple for the white squares and Bloodwood for the inlay.

[Al Willits]

Very nice looking, makes me want to take up chess again...

I like the inlay, hope to do some of that in the near future and hope mine goes as well as yours did.

Hard to tell how much time. I have been working on it for about two months, mainly on the weekends.
