This is absolutely beautiful.

Are the blue streaks in the table top natural?

They are crushed turquise inlayed with epoxy then ground and sanded down

Gorgeous. Inspiring. I love the mixed media aspect of it. Especially since the turquoise is understated in it’s use. Thanks for sharing!

Your craftsmanship is unbelievable!

Wow! Another level to aspire to!

Wonderful work Scott. I am so impressed with how tightly those joints fit, and they are not at 90 degrees. Care to share your secret on how you did that?

you are such an artist – very interesting design. The base looks like (to me) an old tree trunk with the sides going down into roots. Very nice.

Superb artistry, & craftsmanship. Mesquite sure has some outstanding figure. It looks lke a very dense wood.

Very inspiring, Scott. Please don’t show us any small boxes; I’d have to crawl away into a corner somewhere.

Please post more!

This came up on the shuffle and I about dropped my jaw. Astoundingly beautiful and a very fresh take on design.

Scott, I found it in pulse by following Douglas. This is a great piece of work. The base does look like a Mesquite tree.

Man oh man is this sweet work Scott. This site is getting so busy I must have missed it the first time around. Just beautiful woodworking (as always).

-- Better to say nothing and be thought the fool... then to speak and erase all doubt.

Remarkable work! Best I’ve seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing.

How did you get that curved lamination to nest so perfectly between the two “halves” of the top. Did you bandsaw the top to remove the right amount of material? Or did you use a router?

Send me a PM if you have time. ;-D
Keep it up!!
