"GREEN" ACADIAN STYLE CYPRESS DINING TABLE with DRAWER

curious, where’d you reclaim the cyprus from?

It’s not only green, it’s clean! I really like the simple, clean lines and that cypress is gorgeous.

love the wood great build .

I grew up in Louisisana and I see cyprus used in a lot of older homes.
Cypress makes for some beatiful doors, especially from pecky cyprus.

Congratulations on a beautiful, beautiful design and execution. This is really an elegant piece. The proportions are perfect, absolutely perfect to my eye. Now you have to worry, I may have a flawed eye! Anyway, I’m jealous.

Thanks for the complements, everyone. The old cypress came from a barn that was torn down outside of White Castle, LA a few years back. We “de-nailed” it and got the lumberyard to plane it for me. Still have tons left!

Nice table. How well will the cypress hold up as a tabletop material? I’ve been considering it, but have been told it’s too soft?

I love the simplicity of the design. very nice. I wonder if Acadians here in New Brunswick used a similar design.

Beautiful work, beautiful wood, and a beautiful table.
Best thoughts,
