......and not planning on building another in my lifetime

I received my Benchcrafted hardware last week and have been busy the last few days machining and straight-lining stock.
To those that read my "Tooling up" thread in the "Neander" section I was originally using post oak for this project but it was horribly checked so I went with German beech.
This is gonna be a split top. I'm deviating from the BC plans and building the top approx 28" wide, 5" thick, 10' long and beefing up everything else.
I'm having to laminate everything.
So far the rails, legs, and first 4 boards of one of the top sections.
Wish me luck
