That is a really nice table. The inlay really catches your attention.

The inlay is great. What is the wood. Is the shelf the same as the top?

Karson, yes the wood is all solid walnut. Theres some sapwood on the bottom boards but didn’t have enough “good” boards for two pieces that size. I was going to stain the lower shelf but I thought it had more character like this.

Really nice table Bruce. The inlay is a real eye-catcher with that walnut.

That is a great looking table. I like the inlay as well – Karson you have a keen eye, I was so taken by the inlay and top that I never noticed the bottom shelf. Good eye.

Great table. At the risk of being redundant, I also think the inlay really ‘makes’ the table.

Great inlay, but I’m just echoing what everyone else is saying. Nice!

Echo…echo… echo…

Actually, I also really like the overall look and design of the table too. The arches are really nice.

Thank you, jeanmarc. And, thanks to everyone else who posted here too. I appreciate the remarks! I have so many projects going on right now and not a one of them near completion. Also, been really too cold to work much, let alone “clean up shop” for picture taking. Thanks again everybody!
