Very nice! You should have it completed shortly, by the look of it so far. This will be a challenge for me, too. I have yet to cut any stock, but have the rough pieces all laid out in my head.

Very Nice interpretation! Stay true to your roots, for sure!

God Bless!

Back to work enough chit-chating.

Great looking table. I hope it gets completed in time.

Ed it is looking very good right now. Some people produce when their back is at the wall. But I don’t think you need to worry just yet. When you get finished wither on time or not this is going to be a very satisfying work of woodworking art to you. A great since of accomplishment. Something that will last a very long time. Really nice looking. Make sure to show us the finished product.

I think we are now down to “hours”—a lot of them, but still “hours to go”.

This is gorgeous and I love the native connection.

I think your going to make it on time. I like your Native design in your cutouts, & the carry over into the stretchers. Good Luck !!

Wow. I think your wood choices and interpretation will be stunning!

Just a comment . . . Breadboards are to allow wood movement and to keep things flat and perhaps I’m interpreting the wood grain direction of your top incorrectly, but aren’t your breadboards laid out on the wrong edges?

Great interpretation. I like your version of the table and the great table top.

A nice design Ed. I like the shapes and cut outs you chose for the aprons and stretchers. The top should be a nice contrast to the legs, especially when a nice finish is applied.

Yes I put the breadboards on incorrectly if you look at it from a functional point of view but I thought since it is such a small table I should be able to do it that way. Besides the big child in me just had to break the rules. Thanks for the advise and keep it coming. I have alot to learn.
