[Vito Baratta]

Beautiful table my friend!

Great work!

Man..that is sweet. That is the nicest picture of the waterfall bubinga I have seen yet. Great table. I love it.

[Bruce Page]

Stunning wood and beautiful craftsmanship!

Wow is an understatement!

So the apron and legs are walnut? The legs look awfully light for walnut but it could be the light playing tricks.

Bubinga is simply a gorgeous wood. Time and time again it always looks good. A friend of mine has some very long and wide quarter-sawn bubinga and while it was cool to see at the time he bought it, I have to admit it isn't as nice as the flatsawn stuff.

Nice clean design...love the rounded edges.

That's gorgeous John! I absolutely love the 3D look of the figure.

Now... I wonder where I can score some of that beautiful bubinga...

Could be English walnut or Claro walnut...and walnut also gets lighter over time. Regardless, it's a very nice piece!

The lighting makes the walnut look pale. I had a 500 watt halogen shining on the legs in the photo. It is some of the lightest black walnut I've used to date.

The picture below is a table table top made from the same board as the legs. It was 8 feet long, I used 4 feet for the top and had enough left over for the legs on the bubinga table.

... I have always preferred domestic wood for what-ever reason...

I prefer domestic wood because I know I'm not contributing to deforestation in the rain forests that way.

However, I admit that this is a beautiful table.

Wow, the curl in that Bubinga is something else..

I think my hooded merganser has found a new home.
