I recently wrapped up a project that I featured in a blog post. http://lumberjocks.com/allenworb/blog/22243
The slab-style, natural-edge design “Pitruss” applies to the four benches (4’ x 14” x 18”), and the table (~4’ x 4’ x 29”).
They are all made from a pile of West African Niangon, I found hidden in a small stack at the lumber warehouse I buy from.
The benches are assembled with two sets of large floating tenons, and the table is put together with 2” angle iron and large wood bolts. The table weighs in at over 100+ pounds, contributed by the 8/4 thickness.

The table and benches look really nice. I missed your blog on this project when it was first posted but went back and read it when I was this project. Very interesting. I never heard of Niangon wood before. It looks very nice.
