Thanks for the complements, much appreciated. I forgot to mention that I did one other step in the finishing. I used a stain/varnish mix to darken the cut outs in the aprons.

The camera didn’t pick up all the ray flecks in the the legs and aprons, I am a wood worker, not a photographer for a reason :)

I thought the cut outs looked darker….nice touch…sets them off. Nothing wrong with this table Greg…I’d be happy to have it in my home!

Wonderful work Greg. I like the cut outs for the aprons. You can see this was a Thorsen Table inspiration.

I like the subtilty of your piece. Clean lines coming from the same board. Well done.

-- Phil Brown, Ontario

A nice piece of work.
I think it’s unique, & antique looking, are you sure you didn’t pick it up at a Greene & Greene antique auction. LOL

Fantastic job, Greg. Great wood selection, too.

Excellent work. I’m a lover of the fleck of oak, so that is my kind of wood.
