Love the top design!

Why do you think they call it the ‘left’ coast?

Great looking project allright. Have you had any issues with expansion/contraction on the joints.

Jim,

I am also curious like “hasbeen” about the expansion and contraction.

Also, did you turn the legs or order them?

Thanks!

Nicely done! I like the design, it all blends well together.

Expansion / contraction has occurred at the mitered corners on the table top. There is a bit of a gap there now. It’s disappointing to see. I need to figure out something to do with that. I did turn the legs myself. My wife was concerned when I told her that there were going to be grooves in the inlay, but I still chose to go that way because I liked the look. We usually keep a tablecloth on top since we have three messy kids, so it’s not a big deal for us. My idea in making this table was for it to be solid, strong and thick – something that at least in my imagination would have been used in a middle ages castle, with a bit of an elegant look thrown in with the inlay. Thanks for the compliments folks!

Very nice design and end result, Jim. You must have needed help in the assembly process. Great job!
