That’s one nice looking table to put a tv on! How did you fashion the handle from the 8/4 stock? I’m assuming rasps to shape it (after a bandsaw cut?) and carving tools to hollow the hollow it??? Never safe to assume though!

Thanks guys!
Dorje, you’re about right on how i did the drawer front. I’d just add that after the bandsaw cuts, the spindle end of my horizontal sander was an invaluable tool that left me minimal hand sanding to do. The recess for the finger area i did with my dremel tool.
Walnut is really a pleasure to sand and shape though. I get onto shaping something like this and consider it a form of relaxing meditation.

Love the inlay trick Miles that was slick!

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

I’ll third a love of that inlay trick. Never seen that before. Cool.
