    Beautiful job! I never used Poplar for any thing yet but I will look at some in the future. Is that your first dovetails? They look great.

    Mike -

    Fantastic table. I showed it to my wife and... uh-oh. Another project to work on!

    Excellent work, Mike!

    Very beautiful work! I love the way you've made the most of the wood that you had. Nice lines and balanced proportions. Nice and light without being flimsy. I think you are a natural.

    Thanks for showing

    Red face thank you!

    Folks,

    I'm feeling quite humbled here. I want to thank you all for your really nice comments. As some of you know, I'm pretty new to all this woodworking stuff, and to see such generous comments from folks who I know have way more talent an experience than me makes me pause for thought.

    I meant it when I said earlier that many of your unwittingly helped on this table. There are many little pieces that I worked out from comments in SMC threads, and not a few mistakes I managed to fix thanks to the pain of others who went before me and asked for help!

    So, thank you to all of you for your kind comments, and thank you to SMC for being around- I appreciate the kind comment from all of you, and the help that SMC brings.

    best wishes

    Mike

    Cheers.

    That is trully awesome. I can't believe that it is poplar. Very nice work. It must be nice to have such a nice piece of your work at the entrance of your house.
