Here's my latest table. Bubinga and walnut finished with tung oil (Daly's BenMatte) and Watco satin wax. Top is 48" X 19" and the table stands about 30" tall. The bubinga has the nicest figure (waterfall?) of any I've purchased so far.

Nice wood, nice work.

beautiful! Fantastic figure there. It appears the top is one solid slab... but I am having a hard time believing that, as I'd guess a slab of such nicely figured wood to be $$$$$, and so hard to NOT slice up into veneer! Is it a solid slab?

Purdy!!! Very nice design and I agree with Greg that it very much compliments the wonderful material you chose for the project.

Very nice indeed... I have always preferred domestic wood for what-ever reason... but absolutely love bubinga. That's some nice stuff you got hold of there.

It's a solid slab. The board was 16 feet long that this chunk came from. It was very pricey.Originally Posted by Dave MacArthur

Yes very purty. The apron appears much darker than the legs. Is it a different species, stained ?

It's a nice wood to work with. Hard and heavy. Its sands, glues and accepts finish well. Figured boards get a little planer tearout, so a drum sander is key.
The apron is walnut, the lighting made it look darker than it is. There's an overhead light casting a shadow.

One more quick question.
How thick is the top?
Member
It's 7/8" thick. Luckily I didn't have to send it through a planer. Just took it to a local cabinet maker and had him run it through the drum sander. I need a Performax 22-44.

Wow, John. Gorgeous piece of wood for the tabletop. That is one beautiful table.
