Very nice Dan. A great job with it.

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!

Really nice, Dan. Great design and looks vey functional. I really like the wood.

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.
