Now that’s a labor of love!! What are the dark parts of the patern? The dark end of the burnt match?

Yes the dark parts are the burnt edges of the matches that is what gives it the design, doing the round parts and the straight parts were a little tricky but when I figured it out it all fell into place, I started from the centre and worked my way to the outer edge, Thank you So much for your wonderful comments, and I just want to say that I am proud to be a member of the LJ. you all have given me a lot of inspiration and great ideas, thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Beautiful table, I can’t believe no one has asked this but how many matches did it take to make the top?

-- You always have tomorrow to stop procrastinating.

I apologize in advance but nobody else has said it yet… Are there similar pieces to make a ‘matched’ set? LOL! ... well it seemed funny to me before I typed it :-)
