Designed this one in sketchup. Design allows the table to slide under the chair and clear the chair arm.
Top is made from a 15 inch wide plank of 4/4 mansonia. Bought it in-the-rough from the ebay seller I mentioned in one of my blogs. Figure turned out to be especially nice. Rest is from a 8/4 plank of anigre from the same seller.
General finishes semi-gloss Armor seal . Two coats on the table and 4 coats on the top.

I didn’t realize you were really building this! Seems to have morphed very quickly! That top is very nice…not familiar with the woods. Can you describe how they work (i.e., how they machine and work with hand tools)...
thanks!

Thanks for the comments !
Mansonia machines similar to birch. Anigre works like soft maple.
When surfacing the top on the 6×89 edge sander, it grabbed into the 80 grit and flew out of my hands in to the plainer. Corner chipped off. Within 2 minutes all four corners were rounded and radius’d smooth. Unplanned design detail, but happy with end result.
