Nakashima style table in progress

This is going to be a spectacular table. Great color variations. I’ll be looking for the photos of the finished project.

I like the way you “show” the sapwood rather then trying to hide it with dye or removing it. . The bow ties are a good plan, is there anyhting else joining the center? Do you need anything else? I’m curious about how well the glue-up holds as well. I have a corved wall to so that the client wants ensconsed in Walnut stiles & rails with a recessed panel (35 panels, wall is 15’ wide x 12’ high @ 6’/10” radius. Gonna be pricey, and a real test for me.

Thanks all! I’ll be flyin in to Austin in Feb. I’m sure the TSA has a rule against slabs on a plane. LOL Might be worth a try though. I need some pecan. Besides the butterflies, the table is also joined with four 6”X1/2” dowels penetrating 3” into each slab & glued with tightbondIII, & Left clamped for a week.
