Nice work and thank you for your ongoing service!

Honey of a piece JP! What a great present… a family heirloom for sure. Wonderful work.

JP, this is a really nice table and will make a wonderful wedding gift. You did a fine job on it.

Nice table…saw it on the cover of the magazine and it fits our style of furniture but I had already put together our coffee table. I really like the detailed step by step article in the magazine for this table, it allows a novice like my self to learn new techniques. Did you follow the plan exactly or did you change anything? When I cook for example, I use recipes to get a feel for the dish and never follow it to the T, it is the same with woodworking for me ;)

It is AMAZING!!! I am super impressed. I built the same one. I have noticed one small thing… It is HEAVY as hell. You did a great job.

Awesome table. I really like the color that you created with your mix.

Thanks for all the comments. For 98% I kept to the plans. I did use dowel pins to join the top together since I did not have a Biscut Jointer and for the side panels I also doweled them together. Maybe over kill with the joinery but I wante dto to last the test of time (there is lots of kids in our extended family and i know how kids are) The stain is my own custom blend since I did not add the glaze to it. Even with using pine it has a good heft to to. Now all to do is buy / make my own custom brand for Me to use. Free hand takes a while to do.
