Thorsen Table challenge entry

Outstanding entry. Great finish and wood selection. You have taken the challenge up another notch.

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

Great looking wood and finish. Your table turned out really nice and looks great in your home. Fine Woodworking can have quite an article and spread with all the wonderful tables being turned out by the LumberJocks.

Beautiful entry.
I love the grain figure in the top, & the whole table looks much better than the PW rendition.

I’ve seen a lot of these entries and I think you found the best species/finish combination. the grain looks great. The craftmenship is great, but the lumber and finish set it apart. I am trying to develop my finishing skills and have been trying several species/finish combos. I’ll have to add this one to my list.

Thanks all for the kind comments. It is pleasing to read them even though one always suspects a little smoke is blowin’ in the wind, perhaps to encourage a forum newbie. Nevertheless, again thanks so very much for all the kind thoughts.
