Wow what gorgeous wood, it absolutely glows in the pictures.
Really sharp looking table and obviously well made.

Beautiful wood. The contrasting colors compliment each other nicely.

Fantastic table!! What is Roasted Curly Maple and how do you “roast” it?

That’s a very nice design and the wood is beautiful.

Unique design and beautiful wood.

Cool table! I really like the roasted curly maple and I think the walnut complements it nicely. I’m looking forward to seeing the matching coffee table as well.

Some people have been asking me what Roasted Curly Maple is, it is sometimes call Carmalized. The process is to dry the wood to about 4% moisture content, then put it in an oven at 370 degrees F. for about 4 hours. Any wood put through this process takes on a dark color through out the sample. If anyone wanted to try this on their own, I am sure your spouses would not mind you throwing in a piece with the Christmas turkey!!
