    New tiger maple table

    I'm only 22 but I have a huge passion for the art of wood. Just finished this table about a moth ago. Tiger maple with bloodwood accents. the legs have a bloodwood accent on the front and back and all three levels have bloodwood inlays. Don't mean to brag but I think it turned out good.

    Beautiful Table Grant. The photography almost looks CG to me. What did you use?

    Don't know what CG means, but my cousin came over and took them for me. He has a nikon, he tells me that he paid quite a bit for it.

    Grant, CG means “computer generated” and I said that because it is difficult to keep the background and foreground in focus at the same time. Your cousin takes nice photos.
    Beautiful table and great photography!
